I was in D.R. from Nov.13 - 27'th. During that time the peso exchange rate varied from 25 - 28 pesos to 1 USD.
I was quite surprised at POP airport after passing through security and going to the departure area to find that the exchange rate was 35 - 1. Everywhere inside the airport.....from the Duty Free vendors to the coffee shops and restaurants the rate was 35 - 1. However, outside the airport it was 27 - 1.
Why such a big difference ( better rate ) when you're leaving the country?
