Traveling To Mexico? - Here's a Few Tips

As Safe As It Has Ever Been - If Not More!

However; you may not have noticed it but not one report of an American or Canadian tourist experiencing anything worse than a sunburn or a hangover has surfaced. The reason for this is simple and that is that the streets of the Mexican Riviera are as safe as they have ever been, if not more due to a stepped up police presence to ease any worries that vacation travelers may have.

Basic Knowledge and Good Common Sense

This is not to say that Mexico is Disneyland, because just as when visiting places like Europe or Asia, as a tourist you must be aware that you are a prime target for rip off schemes and con artists. With some basic knowledge in hand though, combined with some good old fashioned common sense you will be OK.

Property Theft Is a Problem To Be Aware Of

At a place like Pepe's, which has received numerous five star reviews in Tripadvisor.com you can safely leave your valuables and camera equipment in your quarters.

Maids and hotel service personnel in hotels the world over and that includes Mexico have been known to "pinch" property from time to time, so bear that in mind.
