State Department warns Americans to avoid six Mexican states
The popular spring break resort areas of Cancun and Cozumel received only a “take increased caution” warning, as did Mexico City, although Mazatlan and Acapulco are in the State Department’s “do not travel” regions.
Tamaulipas borders Texas, and armed cartels are known to patrol the border areas with particular impunity, the State Department warns. Buses traveling there have been boarded, with passengers taken for ransom. The State Department also urged Americans to reconsider travel to seven other Mexican states because of kidnappings and crime, including Baja California and Jalisco, home of Guadalajara, the country’s second-largest city after Mexico City.
Only two of Mexico’s 32 states, Campeche and Yucatan, were given the lowest designation, with travelers recommended to take normal precautions. The two states are home to historic sites of the Mayan civilization, including the stepped pyramid of Chichen Itza in Yucatan.
