Mexico Travel Warnings Issued Amid Deadly Violence

Deadly violence has prompted urgent warnings from governments worldwide for tourist destinations in Mexico. The US State Department advises travelers to remain in place, especially in popular vacation spots like Jalisco and Baja California. Despite this, many flights have been canceled, and some buses were set on fire.

If you’re already in Mexico:
Seek shelter, avoid law enforcement activity, and stay informed through local media. Monitor your surroundings and follow instructions from authorities.

If planning a trip to Mexico:
Research high-risk areas before traveling and comply with road checkpoints. Avoid solo travel at night and use regulated taxi services. Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) for emergency contact.

Traveling to attend the FIFA World Cup in Mexico is also advised to review country-specific travel advisories and familiarize yourself with local laws and customs.
