The United States’ latest travel advisory for Mexico only lists two of the latter’s states — Campeche and Yucatan — as sites Americans can visit exercising “normal precautions.”
The State Department encourages American citizens to use increased caution, reconsider travel, or not travel at all to everywhere else in Mexico. The spots deemed risky and even dangerous in the U.S.’ latest advisory for its Southern neighbor include popular tourist areas and those more densely populated with Mexican locals.
America’s “Country Summary” of Mexico was reissued earlier this month with updates for Chiapas and Durango states, respectively. Chiapas is within the “reconsider travel” category due to potential criminal activity and violence. Durango, a place where travelers should “exercise increased caution,” was flagged over alleged crime, violence, and gang activity.
Exercise Increased Caution is a Level 2 travel risk. Reconsider Travel is a Level 3, and Do Not Travel is a Level 4.
