Travel in Yucatan Safe According to U.S. State Dept.
In this excerpt from an online article posted by my favorite travel website, Smarter Travel, they suggest that travel in Yucatan and Cancun is safe:
State Department’s travel warning declares, “millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year (including tens of thousands who cross the land border daily for study, tourism, or business and nearly one million U.S. citizens who live in Mexico).” Caution is urged, but the country is still a good option for travelers to consider. The violence is worst in the border cities, but tried-and-true tourist destinations are generally considered safe. Hartshorne says, “It’s like saying ‘There’s lots of crime in Colorado, so don’t go to Boston.’ Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana might be dangerous, but Yucatan and Cancun are safe.
