Travel Advisories and Warning for Mexico

We recommend consulting travel advisories when travelling to Mexico. While most of the country is quite safe to drive in, some parts may be experiencing problems.

In border towns, the police tend to be corrupt and crime is rampant so we suggest not going into Mexico from the US.
