DeleteMany of us will stay make those trips. - Sol Prendido
ReplyDeleteYup lol
Deletedamn right i travel to northern mexico during my kids vacations or any special occasion.
Deleteout of all the states mention tamaulipas has a higher treat level.
cdg and zetas keep an eye out for tourist at night clubs and etc.
Looking through the warnings and advisories in Mexico by US. Suggestion should read as follows; No traveling through or near the country of Mexico.
ReplyDeleteE42
Thanks Yaqui, excellent report.
ReplyDeleteRead through the whole list - I lived in Mexico 5 years and have traveled by bus, hitchhiking, and driving through all the states except Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, and Durango. Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Yucatan and Q Roo were my favorite states.
Michoacan sounds red hot. If even Patzcuaro and Lake Janitzio are off limits then must be very troublesome. Too bad as that is a very scenic area and needs tourists to boost the local economies.
Tamaulipis sounds totally out of control, some serious lawlessness there. Have only passed through as there's nothing for tourists there. On our way to Belize in 79, we stopped at a town called Sota La Marina that was scary AF. Everyone tried to sell us dope, rip us off, el mal ojo, the works.
Jalisco used to be fairly peaceful and is now more violent than ever, lastima.
Those areas mentioned in the Estado de Mexico section - they are scary and horrible. No tourist goes there, warning or not. Ecatepec, Chalco, Itztapaluca, Nezahualcoyotl - the worstest and ugliest slums ever even worse than the shanties in Juarez, Nogales, and Tijuana.
Surprised it doesn't mention Tepito market in DF, that's a good place to score dope and get your ass kicked. I suppose the government employees already know that jajajaja
Wondering how many government employees do indeed travel in la provincia, and how seriously they take the restrictions. If someone snitches (like Chapo LOL)on them enjoying the nightlife and gunfire in an area that's been restricted, do they get fined or written up or what's the penalty? I get it that it's a warning but just wondering if anyone knows why anyone working for the US Government would be crazy enough to take a bus through Tamaulipis, or would have reason to.
Be careful out there!
I’m a white guy I have an Asian wife and my kids are obviously half, were American, we live in Long Beach CA... We’re Considering buying a place in Tulum, Playa del Carmen or Puerto Morelos. I’ve heard nothing but great things about the area and we’re going to visit soon and I’ve been doing heavy research about it. I have been to Los Cabos/Cabo San, TJ but nowhere else. With all the somewhat sensationalized media coverage in US about Mexico I’ve been a little apprehensive to go lately. Can anyone who lives in the Quintana Roo area comment? It seems lots of Americans and Canadians are moving there. Thanks so much for your time and advice!
ReplyDeleteYes, Great areas to live. Occasionally you witness a gunfight on the street or dead body somewhere. Other than that, things are great, good eating establishments and friendly people. You just have to have an open mind..
DeleteYeah don't don't do it. There were nearly 30k reported homicides in Mexico last year. That doesn't include people that went missing/disappeared. The Yucatán peninsula has seen a huge up tick in violence as Dona Lety got picked up.
DeleteI'm not saying something will happen, but you are definitely putting your family at risk.
If you are looking for a cheap paradise to buy a house there are other safer places in the world. It sucks cause I love Mexico, and its people are amazing. But it is chaos down there right now! Not sure if you visit this site much, but there were over 130 political candidates(past, current, and future) murdered this past year. Not sure if there were any arrests. Does that sound like a place you'd want to be with your family?
R U Loco ? DO NOT INVEST a dime in Mexico right now. if you insist on hanging out down there, RENT for a couple of yrs to suss things out for gods sake ! I keep telling everyone the same thing. Who you know in MX is EVERYTHING. IF you are green and don’t know or are ingrained with locals you are in for a chingada.
DeleteI agree with 9:06, don't make a commitment until you have spent a few months there IN THE RAINY HOT SEASON when there aren't many visitors. A lot of the Americans and Canadians are there only because they're snowbirds escaping cold winters.
DeleteAlso, IMHO Tulum, PDC, the whole Maya Riviera has been spoiled by way too many tourists, especially hipsters from New York and Eurohippie backpackers.
Los Cabos is full of Californians taking drugs, and there's plenty of cartel action there. I'd avoid it.
Tulum is very safe. I'm planning to buy in Yucatan it's very very peaceful and would make a nice vacation home the drug wat has not extended there. I visited there last December loved the city and loved the people there
Delete@6:05PM I have lived in Mexico for the last 21 years and have been a member of BB since 2010. An Administrator on the Forum and Main page for many of those years so I am familiar with all the numbers and all the horrific violence that goes on in parts of Mexico. The US State Dept. travel warnings give a pretty good indication where those are.
DeleteBut in my 20+ years living here I have never seen a dead body, a body hanging from a bridge, a mutilated or dismembered body. I've not even seen any acts of violence. that is not to say it hasn't occurred here but I haven't heard of it and it doesn't affect tge average resident. I only know of 2 murders this year and both of those were robbery related and I think done by local thugs you would find in any city. And I live in a mid to small city in Northern Mexico that is in the middle of a cartel controlled area. My biggest gripe is Mexican drivers. They don't have to take a driving test to get a license, they tailgate, don't lower their highbeam when you meet them, and they think traffic signals are suggestions. Reminds me of driving in Houston and LA.
My advice is do some research on the area you want to live, maybe rent for couple of months to see if you like it and then use your common sense when you move there.
Thank you for some insightful replies. If we did make the move there I would love to try and become a local and contribute to my community. California is a pressure cooker waiting for the lid to blow off. Crime is everywhere, I live in a nice area of Long Beach and we have kids breaking into my cars, stealing shit from my garage and homeless people everywhere. We like to walk to the local coffee shop on the weekends and my kids scooter along side and there’s syringes laying on the ground and trash and human shit on the sidewalks. I hate when people compare all of Mexico’s murder rate to US. Mexico is large, it obviously has issues but I know lots of Americans buying and or retiring there in the nicer communities and states. US has states/cities I wouldn’t step foot in so I’m sure it’s a common sense thing, I won’t walk around town with my Rolex if I’m going surfing. Just be a nice person and trouble won’t find you. Thanks for participating BB crew!
DeleteNo, sorry, if you actually are the type of person to own a Rolex, then trouble will find you.
DeleteI was thinking of visting sinaloa with my girl to see her family the times we went it was pretty calm i did saw a couple of sicarios but they dint mess with us at all but now i dont know i heard there is a lion vs lion war so Will stay out there for Now because the gallos están alebrestados
ReplyDeleteIts not safe not sinaloa or any place. All stupid ppl cross the border at your own risk if you end up fucked up it was your stupidity that got you killed.
DeleteQuite an argument for the wall I'd say.
ReplyDeleteNephew of tamaulipas governor busted with almost a mill in a jet from s.a. to monterrey. A million a week flown into mexico. Thats one way the cdg gets its money accross.
ReplyDelete8:11 pray thanks for the good news, EVEN IF THEY ARE FAKE...

ReplyDeleteme siento mas agusto y seguro en culiacan..que en ningun otro lado JAGL.
ReplyDeleteDamn i going on vacation in a f......war zone.
ReplyDeleteAll my my would like to See destinations got at least 3 point.i Hope its cooling down during next weeks
Tijuana is safe, they shall travel and not be afraid of kidnappings or being beheaded.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why the USA government does not issue travel warnings for most all of the bigger cities. Dallas, Houston,Austin, San Antonio, And any border city.Not just the State of Texas but any other State and in most cities that have a population of 100,000 or more there are areas that you just do not go into.
ReplyDeleteThis is because of the rampant Drug use that is all over the USA. If the government there would build a WALL along the California BORDER and move all the Druggies there,let them have an completely open border it would solve a lot of problems on both sides of the Border.
Cus in usa cities if you dont want to get killed stay the fuck out the ghetto. In mexico you might get killed at any time in any place
DeleteThey the US has its share of murders but is a long way from the lawlessness and 250,000 murders that have occurred in Mexico over the last ten or twelve years...in the US the police will tell you what areas to avoid, in Mexico the police are part of the problem...
DeleteGC
The press in many areas of Mexico, especially thrust areas is tightly controlled by the Cartels. Not sure how US stAte dept. Gets its information, but the level of crime may be worse than they are aware. Example, there is significant crime in puerto penasco, sonora, a tourist area. It goes unpublished, cause the Cartel controls the press there and loves to sell drugs to the turists, so its always good news being published.
ReplyDeleteBasically this says, "if you are American, stay out of Mexico."
ReplyDeleteNope you got it wrong...the advisory is for federal American employees.
DeleteI love Mexico and am married to a Mexican woman but I won't travel there again. I can't represent fully to my family the trip would be completely safe. This year we will make our vacation in British Columbia, Victoria specifically.
ReplyDeleteAhh Victoria b e a utifull ! And white as fk. No problems there.
DeleteStay away from Surrey BC though, piec of shit city, 90% meth heads 10% crack whores.

Hola Yaqui and muchas gracias por el enlace.
ReplyDeleteThis guy has done great work, also his blog is very interesting.
So data is available, next step is to force gob. into action and fight crime.
No they killed plenty of women too.
ReplyDeleteI think theyre down playing the danger in GTO. I have lived in San Miguel for my whole life. And I won't even make the drive 30 minutes to Celaya at night any more. Fuck, I dont even like go party downtown anymore and drive back to la colonia.
ReplyDeleteParty at your house only, you bring the Vodka and I will bring the ladies. They will have to sleepover, too many criminals rule the night.
DeleteQuite a few of my friends here in Dublin, Ireland, have holidayed in Cancun, quite oblivious to any violence that has Mexico in a grip of fear. None of them check this site out and believe me to be exaggerating the bloodshed and horror that happens on a daily basis. They always enjoy Cancun but because i have been a reader on here for quite a long time i can honestly say i will never set foot on Mexico's soil. I feel sorry for the milions of good Mexicans to have to live with that fear and anxiety because of how bloodthirsty many states have become.
ReplyDeleteI know crime happens everywhere, but I went to beautiful Ireland last year to see the birthplace of my great grandparents. I left some money on the exchange counter and it was returned to me, I didn't drive that well, and couldn't understand anyone from Dublin. They saw to it that I did not get too lost and served me tea everywhere I went. I love your beautiful country.
Delete2:10 Ireland had their own TROUBLES, and survived, with many American Liberals supporting the IRA against the British conservatives supported by American oligarchs and the extreme right. That was easy, there is almost nothing to steal from Ireland other than a few red heads with English teeth.
DeleteTo 4.54, thank you, Ireland is indeed a beautiful country. I meet a few Mexicans as i work as i taxi driver and they are always pleasantly surprised when they realise how much i know about their country, albeit from reading borderland beat. I always find Mexicans to be lovely people.
Delete8.36, red heads are an endangered species these days in Ireland. Yes we have had our troubles in the past, especially in Northern Ireland, but Dublin and the Republic is very safe and quite prosperous with close to full employment. It's not a bad place to live really.
Delete10:27 is this a rethorical question?
ReplyDeleteevery other month a restriction jajaj.. let the uninformed dummies travel. its 2018. everybody should know what is going on in Mexico. Survival of the informed. what i find funny is many paisanos no quieren escuchar la verdad de la sangre que corre en sus pueblos. Pretend it doesnt happen. estan mas enterados en las novelas. dummies
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to visit Mexico with a make America great again hat you can expect to become a victim. Other than that stay in the tourist areas, mind your business, don't be flashy & you won't have any problems.
ReplyDeleteViva y deja vivir
Says places not to go. But are there any safe places in Mexico?
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for those who come on this site and have never set foot in Mexico.
