Friends and family please ignore the media when it comes to safety in Mexico. Here is a simple flow chart to follow to ensure your safety while in Mexico. While the media does their thing, the rest of Mexico continues to enjoy life. Bad things happen all over the world 🌎 we live in. Culiacán is not where the average person goes. I have been to Mexico on numerous occasions and lived in various places over my last 7 years or so and coming from Canada (Saskatoon) I feel just as safe living in Mérida, Yucatan. In fact check the link in the first comment below to see Merida was the 21st safest city in the world in 2019. The only city in Canada that surpassed was Quebec City. I’ll give you my personal opinion / experiences in a private message. But in all seriousness, do not let the media fool you, or keep you from where you want to go to prosper, invest, and especially go and experience. Mexico is a magical place that has existed for thousands of years, and the culture goes back as far as you can imagine it, and still the media will never tell you of all the amazing things that exist here. So turn the TV off, get outside, and go live your life. You only have one of it, don’t let the media ruin it. Wherever you go, there are risks, and that’s what travelling is, the experience that gives you the skills to go anywhere, and know that you will be perfectly fine. #tulumluxuryrealestate #tulumrealestate #mexicoluxuryrealestate #mexicorealestate #mexicobienesraices #mexico #buyrealestateinmexico #yucatan #mazatlan #loscabos #realestate #playadelcarmen #tulum #canada #alberta #saskatchewan #ontario #vancouver #yyc #yxe #travelagent #meridayucatan #retirement #movetomexico #mexicolife #media #socialmedia

The biggest risk in any country in the world is yourself, using common sense when travelling is required , behave as a guest, dont get so drunk or high u cant function and surely you wont have issues . Ive been to mexico 36 times in my years and never once was threatened at any destination I’ve been too. I never stays in resorts just small hotels in tourist towns. Its pretty easy to be safe if you dont act like an idiot. I felt safer in Bangkok than even my own city so never judge a country by one experience. Millions people travel every day and return home safe
Back from 6 weeks in PV, was in Mexico City and towns on the outskirts. I’ve been going to Mexico for more than 2 decades…never have I ever felt uncomfortable. Don’t stay at resorts but in town, often in the local communities. The Mexican people are a kind and caring people. Boisterous and funny. I act like a guest in their country…because I am and I don’t engage in things I wouldn’t do in Canada 🇨🇦.
We spend about 3 months in Mexico every year. I find the Mexican people to be some of the friendliest down to earth people I’ve ever met. We rent a house directly from the owner and honestly feel safe and welcome wherever we go. Like anywhere else in the world there are places to avoid. I find if you treat people with respect , don’t act like an idiot and take the time to get to know the locals, your experience in their country will be amazing.
I have back packed Mexico 6 times and I would agree with this chart although I must say that I was almost shot in xtapa. The bar that I at was shot up by the cartel and then they then came back 2 weeks later and burnt the entire city block to the ground. Had I not walked out of the bar 5 minutes prior I wouldn't be here today. I saw the entire thing go down.
My husband’s family is from Culiacan, Sinaloa. The dangers there currently are very real unfortunately. :( But he has lived in San Jose de Cabo (Baja) and we are eventually moving to Mexico with our kids. When my friends or family freak out about us moving, I ask them if they would avoid living in the US because of shootings in Detroit, Chicago or LA or the Chaz incident in Seattle, etc. If no, then there is no reason to avoid Mexico either.
Love the flow chart, but Just coming back from Mexico, and I've stayed in many parts of the Yucatan and Quintana Roo Regions, I'd say you are very safe, equal to any major city in North America, of course you need to be careful as a tourist or as a non resident and keep a low profile, but I believe that is the same everywhere. My two cents is that you're more likely to get scammed than anything else from my many experiences.
I lived in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, for three years starting in 2008 with my wife and two children. It was a great experience! People are fantastic, food is amazing, private schools on par or better than Florida with more things to do in the region than we could cram into 36 months. "Yes", parts of Mexico can be wild, however, I found that if one "respects" the culture, it can be a great place to visit or live.
You’re never safe in Mexico. It’s a third world country. I was there once, never going back.
