Currency
The American dollar/Ecuadorian sucre (and the Peruvian sol, on extension) are the currencies you’ll be using on tour. Better rates of exchange are usually available in your destination countries, although it is worth ordering some currency?from your local bank to use when you first arrive. We suggest that you inform your bank and credit card company of your travel plans, so that they won’t confuse your international purchases for fraudulent charges. Please note:?It has been increasingly difficult to exchange traveler’s checks outside of major cities—both at banks and shops—and they often attract higher fees.
