    Credit cards are widely accepted and there are ATMs everywhere.

    Personally I wouldn't take that much in cash

    As said above, credit cards often widely accepted. We used USD$ to pay for excursions when we went a couple of years ago. They were widely accepted.

    Remember to check whether you will need to pay the exit tax at the airport ( usually already included with scheduled air fares but not with chartered flights) as, unless this has changed, this needs to be paid in cash when you leave.
