Country overall: Medium Risk

In recent years Mexico has suffered from drug gang violence that has rendered parts of the country, such as border town Ciudad Juarez, almost ungovernable. The northern border and western states are afflicted too and even traditional tourist spots such as Acapulco have not been immune. There is a risk of crime in urban areas and kidnapping occurs. Demonstrations can take place with little warning. Multiple governments currently advise essential travel only to Mexico.
