This is also a Cambio Exchange place. We used this place to exchange our money. We bought our tix from RdJ to SP, 353R/tix r/t, at this place and they were issued on the spot.

This cambio typically give a competitive rate. One word of caution is that it closes mid-day on Saturday & does not re-open until monday morning so get enough money for the weekend prior to saturday afternoon.

Cambios were giving worse rates than ATMs with the current strong dollar, up to 0.30R per dollar. But I can't remember if this was the case last year when dollar was not as strong.
Only problem with ATM is daily limit of 600R or 1000R depending on bank, not sure if working on Sun.

Athos-limits per bank can differ, but I was able to pull 2000R from the Citibank ATM at Blockbuster by making two 1000R withdrawls back to back. This ATM is popular though and it does run out of money often on weekends. Both machines were out of cash the Sunday I left.
