jteichgrab asks,
i am leaving for Peru in about 2 days and i am not sure if i should take travellers checks. i was planning on doing so, but i recently heard that they are fast becoming useless. people have been telling me that you can find ATM's everywhere these days. thats not hard to believ in Europe but south america i assumed that in the small villages an ATM would be a rare site. i'm not too sure what to do. i was only planning on taking about $500 worth but not sure if thats a good idea anymore. i need advice quickly. thanks
