Deadly kidnapping in state of Tamaulipas prompted new State Dept. warnings; Sonora state leaders say police on different government levels prepared to keep Puerto Peñasco safe
TUCSON, Ariz. -- — Heading into the spring break season, many Arizonans will be packing the car and spending a few days on the beaches at Puerto Peñasco, known in English as 'Rocky Point.'
While the State Department still has Tamaulipas listed in its red category for"do not travel," Sonora is in the 'orange' category, one level below. With this designation, DOS still recommends travelers reconsider their trips, spring break or otherwise. Figueroa also cited data, reported for years by the Arizona Department of Transportation, saying more than 20 million people have crossed between Arizona and Sonora in recent years — with the overwhelming majority doing so safely.
The Department of State's website suggests there are still reasons for vacation goers and visitors to stay alert."Sonora is a key location used by the international drug trade and human trafficking networks."
