IS IT ACTUALLY SAFE TO TRAVEL TO MEXICO?? (what they don't want you to know)

F around and find out, not me

Bravo !!!!!!!!!

As a Mexican I have been robbed in Paris, Bogota, New York and Chicago but never in Mexico.

I was in Monterrey and a 6 yr old girl got shot and killed by a stray bullet by gang violence in the neighborhood next to my Airbnb. Wrong place wrong time is what will get you. I’ll be going to Mexico City and visit Tepito in a few weeks and check it out, as well as the surrounding areas away from the tourist sector. The real Mexico is not in those areas I find.

A guy I worked with who is Mexican and has lived in the US and Mexico says, if you're not Mexican and you're visiting Mexico, you better be with a Native or you're a target.

I lived in Playa Del Carmen for 6 months, Puerto Escondido for 1 and Puerto Vallarta for 4. I never felt unsafe while exercising normal precautions. I felt safer at times than had living in America.

90% of crimes go unreported in Mexico. The police are involved in almost all serious crime....how do you trust your figures ? You can't.....you have no reliable numbers. But I can count the number of people risking everything to apply for asylum in the US citing danger to their lives in Mexico. Hundreds of thousands of them. Are they lying or are greedy tourists and tourist businesses kidding themselves and or lying to us?

There are currently 729 Americans missing in Mexico......and according to Mexican papers 90% goes unreported.....Police have the power to extort you ? and you accept that ?

yes you survived......that does not make it safe.....you need to take a logic class.....

"he was mugged and left for dead" did they mean something that happens and will happen again, hundreds of times every year in USA? USA, the most dangerous "developed" (let's be honest, USA is just a third world country in disguise) in the world? . USA shocked about 2 death in a cross fire between narcos... how ironic for a country with more than one mass shooting reported every single day... If "you" advise not to travel or live in Mexico, then you should definitely ask your own citizen to never ever live their homes in USA and to never travel inside USA either and to never travel to countries abroad (in asia, europe etc.). Because ask 1000 people who actually lived or traveled to Mexico and are USA citizens, and you'll probably get 995 of them telling you how much more safe they felt in Mexico compared to USA. Don't enter road rages, don't buy drugs or consume drugs, don't get drunk, don't go out late at night or when it's dark outside, don't go to shaddy places, don't follow strangers , do'nt accept drinks from strangers in bars and you'll be fine..; and that advise applies anywhere in the world. Pity criminal happens anywhere in the world, accident too, crossfires too, wrong time wrong place too.
p.s: I lived a bit in Mexico (guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta) and I felt more safe there than during my few days in USA.

Heck yes you are wrong my nephew father is in Mexico I no that it’s very dangerous there

U are not free there i don't believe u feel good if u there always ur mind will go there. few friends i know get rob there. bad luck then 🤔 and people they saying it safe this peoples stay only on the resort

Go to the main local places then tell me if u feel safe. 🙂

2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico 🇲🇽🥰 couldn't be happier 🙏❣️

You went overboard with that intro, like we got it after 30 seconds. I’ve been to MX 10x in the last year and a half. It’s safe until 💩happens to you. Going by stats is a joke, a lot of crimes are not reported.

I have been to Mexico twice and both times it was amazing. The people are so friendly. Love Mexico.

Theyre terrible to their woman and children and thats why so many kids might be dropped off at the border bc parents are literally giving them up so they might live

Is this a joke

😂

Mexico is a beautiful. Country I have travel to playa del Carmen. It was heaven on earth. But the way thing are now I will not go back ...for now. I hope.things get better there so I can explore more places

As for bribes, I’ve talked/argued my way down from $550 (US) to $10 after they wanted me to go to an ATM to take money out (I said I didn’t have a card) then asked how much I had. I said $20 so the officer said to give him that. I said no, that I needed to get gas with it. He asked how much I could give him so I said $10. He said ok but if anyone asks I gave him $550. That was my last bribe I paid to them. I then learned Spanish and argued with everyone looking for a bribe until they would just tell me to leave (without paying anything).

And remember, in Mexico you are guilty until proven innocent; which is very hard to prove from a jail cell.

America has become un safe now.

It can be fairly safe if you stay in the tourist areas. However, 6 of the 10 most dangerous cities in the world are in Mexico. The police, military and judicial system are corrupt. Get the proper car insurances, have money for a great lawyer and don't be a fool. You should be fine.

I’ve been there a few times in the last few years but the new reports do scare me a bit I want to go in two weeks with my gf and I am concerned of her safety.Are you still living in Mexico?

Please travel elsewhere china sending Fentinel..90 percent stronger than heroin..to mexico who delivers to US. Think of all the growing costs and grief it causes.. think have compassionfight back a little.

Hey guys
Chin up
Keep on trucking and let whatever happens happen. It's part of the journey.
GET SMALL GENERATOR AND HAVE A SHOP MOUNT IT ON BACK BUMPER...MAKE SURE ITS QUIET BECAUSE IT WILL ANOY YOU.
HAPPY BLAZING
CHEERS 😊😊

It’s so safe that the COPS extort you lol.

Reasons to travel to Mexico:
You can get drunk
You can get extorted by police regularly
You can get shot by a drug lord at a resort for looking slightly too far to your left.
You can even get sold into slavery. 😎

Be nice to the Mexicans...but don't take any wooden nickels....Most locals don't have alotta dough...Keep an 👁️on yer wallet!!..and give em a tip if you can...You LL most certainly be hit by lightning a few times before your shot with gun..Unless you really screw up..Then....Run!!!!!!!😉😎😁♥️..God bless Mexico and the People there....Pray for the Cartels...and Our inner City violence right here in Our great Country....U.S.A

"Did you know Mexico only has the 39th highest crime rate" That's really bad!

Nope.

I respect your opinion but I disagree. Your experience is based on 6 months? Mine is 43 years.

If you travel by airplane, go to shopping malls, fancy places, restaurants, go to downtown, don't get drunk in public, don't go walking at night and a few more things you are safe. OK.

But many states such as Sonora, Colima, Zacatecas, Juarez, Estado de México, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Guerrero (to name a few) are very dangerous. You have to avoid driving to get there because a car/truck will chase you or try to stop you with weapons, blocking road with stones or nails, people throw heavy rocks from bridges, etc.

Bad things happen everywhere, right but when was the last time you saw a human head or a body hanging from a bridge? When was the last time you were on a plane or watching a game at the stadium and you had to cover your head and run because of shootings? Ask people of flight AM165 from Aeromexico (January 2023 in Sonora) if Mexico is a safe country? There are lots of videos. Even the Guardia Nacional (national guard) are killed and outnumbered so they run away or avoid facing criminals.

Feminicides is serious, in Mexico is a hunt for women. Singer "Manu Chao" have talked about this serious problem since MANY years ago. 94 mayorss from small cities/places have been killed by cartels in the last 5 years. Don't believe me? Look it up! The whole band called "Kombo Kolombia" was murdered (17 people) by cartels many years ago and it doesn't stop here unfortunately.

Many things ONLY happen in Mexico and it's a f shame. Everyday is worst (look for "El Pozolero" from Tenango del Valle). He ate his victims heads.

There was a shooting on 5th Avenue (the tourist street) in Playa del Carmen when I was there, a German woman told me how it happened right across from the coffee shop she was in and everyone took cover. This was about 4 months ago. Also if you are a single man you get harassed every 5 seconds to buy drugs.

Ya, because the crime here in the U.S. isn’t at an all time high right now ...🧐

We went to Mexico twice and stayed at five star resorts in Riviera Maya and had no problems, but was told not to leave the resort so we did not. Out of all the places we've gone in Mexico and the Caribbean, the place that we had the most trouble was actually Jamaica.

Most of the large resorts are not owned by the cartels they are owned by American investors and European investors

There are over 100,000 people including tourists missing in Mexico

Mexico is the fourth most dangerous country in the world, and the crime rate is 8 times higher than the United States.

Here at 11,033 views. ED...

Love this video. I live in Chicago - when I travel in Latin America it feels far safer than American cities 😂

Bribing the police is a common is totaly not selling mexico for me lol

This is spot on! We arrived back from Playa, Cancun and Holbox (visited following your trip to Holbox - amazing!) - we actually arrived the day after 4 “tourists” were killed in Cancun. There was heavy police/marines presence but I didn’t mind that, I was reassured by seeing them to be honest. After a day or two and got my bearings, walking to the supermarket, I started to feel more confident. As long as you’re not walking about flashing an expensive watch/bag, (and as you said, acting like an idiot), you’ll be fine - have common sense and remember to stay respectful to the locals. I’m definitely going back.

Compared to the 75/28.8 million homicides in Mexico in 2021, Philadelphia had 562/1.6 million. I'm sure it's just an honest oversight by the US/Canadian governments.

If you ever come around a cross fire shooting in between 2 rivals of cartels shooting remember this….that’s a wake up call for any American and Canadian who decided to choose there life to be taken away, cause in the end American will go running to the US crying like babies. I was in a cross fire in 2021 in Sinaloa but that didn’t stop me, cause one thing my uncle taught me is your a strong kid mijo and your full blood Latino till the end, don’t be like the Gringos.

And here the USA shooting happens every day ....come on I think Mexico is safer than the USA now...

What about traveling around USA cities???

If you stay in tourist zones, you are overall safe

U didn’t heard 2 American die from crossing the border recently? It’s sad but they’re violent there. 👍👻
Btw, I live in Texas n I known about the cartel.✌️🤠

It’s not beneficial for the US for its citizens to live or travel in MX and spend money there.

The US will use the media to brainwash every American to believe MX is extremely dangerous.
