MONEY 💰

• Cash & Cards:

Most places in Mexico, including Hermosillo and San Carlos, accept credit cards and Apple Pay. However, it’s a good idea to carry some Mexican Pesos (MXN) for smaller purchases, tips, or local vendors.

• For reference:

A coffee costs around 50–100 pesos.

A casual meal might be 150–300 pesos.

You can withdraw pesos from ATMs or exchange currency at the airport.

WEATHER 🌤️

"Sonora is hot"

May is warm, as the region transitions into summer. San Carlos is located in a desert climate, so expect hot, sunny days and cooler evenings.

Bring sun cream, a hat or sombrero, and light, breathable clothing to stay comfortable.

LANGUAGE 🗣️

While Spanish is the main language, many locals in tourist-friendly areas like San Carlos and Hermosillo speak some English. A smile and a friendly “Gracias” go a long way!
