MoneyThe easiest way to exchange from dollars to soles if you're crossing the border to Peru, is through street money changers (They usually wear a black briefcase and calculators). But, before check on the rate with other travelers and try with several of these street money changers for a better rate. The other and most secure option is to try with the banks along the main street, but is more difficult. Communications
