Mexico….yikes, no thanks!
mexico is perfectly safe as long as you use your common sense.
My first thoughts were the same. I’ll avoid Mexico for now as well.
I agree with Marta, it’s completely safe as long as you’re not behaving like an idiot. I’ve taken my two kids down along with my husband and I and no issues. Don’t go looking for trouble people.
We’re taking our kids in 1 week, and it is perfectly safe! It’s like mom of two said, don’t go looking for trouble and trouble won’t find you.
The drug cartels down there kill people for the fun of it. They don’t discriminate between “idiot” and “non-idiot”. When the Canadian government has to give travel advisories recommending that Canadians travelling to mexico “exercise high degree of caution”, then it is not safe enough.
Yikes another shooting in Toronto,I’m not going to Canada.
Cancun is far from the drug cartel activities.
But hey, more chances for me to win this trip.
Make sure you read the rules and regulations!! You gotta have money to go on this trip.
Cancun is considered the safest part of Mexico, but when we were there for our all-inclusive vacation, we ran into scammers everytime we stepped out of the hotel- they’re everywhere, in the souvenir stores, on the public bus (- gave bus driver a 200-peso bill as we didn’t have enough coins, he short changed and insisted we only gave him a 100-peso bill), etc. No one looks for trouble when on vacation, but in Mexico, trouble does look for you.
I agree with Theresa – no thanks. When we were in cancun walking back from a restaurant, my brother and stepbrother were ahead. Police pulled over and searched them for absolutely no reason. My aunt and uncle live by the Mexican border and it is way too dangerous. I wouldn’t go to Mexico if someone paid me.
We’ve been to Mexico 3 times and have never had any issues. There’s problems everywhere, just use caution and common-sense……
