i always convert a a couple of hunderd usd before i go. NOt that much...but its nice to have a couple of thousand pesos when you arrive for what-ever and until you can find the best cambio.
re: taxis...just know the going rate and agree before getting in. And always know the rate for the guagua. I've done the publicos...and never again...5 pesos is a bargain but not for my long legs.
I am half latino..and my spanish is just so-so...but i have never had a problem using motos or guaguas etc. you just have to know your destination and the fare...otherwise you will be fine.
ENJOY!!!
