Mexico’s diverse crime landscape includes violent crimes like homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery, often linked to organized crime and drug cartels, particularly in border areas and certain states. Petty crime, such as pickpocketing and theft, is also frequent in tourist and non-tourist areas, as are various scams. Some regions, including parts of Guerrero, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas, and certain border areas, carry higher travel advisories due to increased violence and criminal activity. Tourist areas, while generally safer, can still experience incidents of violent crime and scams. To prevent becoming a victim of crime, travelers are advised to exercise increased caution and maintain awareness of their surroundings. Key prevention methods include avoiding displaying signs of affluence, such as expensive jewelry or clothing, and keeping valuables secure and out of sight. When it comes to transportation, it’s recommended to use authorized taxis from official stands or ride-sharing apps like Uber or Didi, rather than hailing taxis on the street. For inter-city travel, using first-class buses and toll roads (cuotas) is generally safer than free roads (libre) or traveling at night. Financial safety tips include using ATMs inside banks or malls during the day to avoid skimming devices, and carrying smaller denominations of cash. Travelers should also be wary of common scams, such as fake taxis, corrupt police, and individuals soliciting money with sob stories. It’s crucial to research destinations thoroughly, inform trusted contacts of travel plans, and register with one’s embassy. If confronted by armed criminals, it is advised not to resist.
