Mexico Safety

Mexico is not one country when it comes to safety. It is dozens of micro-environments, and foreigners who do their homework consistently find cities where they feel safer than they did back home.

Mexico is absolutely safe for Americans who choose their destinations wisely. Stick to Level 1 and Level 2 states like Veracruz, Yucatán, the Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, Oaxaca, and Mexico City. Completely avoid Level 4 states.
