I just returned from a trip to Mexico with my daughter last week. We stayed at a large resort 50 miles south of Cancun. Before we left I went on the governments consultant website. They were very clear on where the problem areas were and exactly who was causing the problems and how it was being handled as well as the danger of that particular area. You also could register with them with information on yourself and where you are traveling. On our resort we had a private beach and had resevations about leaving the resort even with the resorts planned areas and travel. We finally decided to go to one of these sites of ruins and to an area that you paid for ( was included on the price of this trip) and was private as well. It was all people that were tourists as well. I found it very safe ( there's safety in numbers right?) and we had a great time. I would like to add I am street smart and very aware of my surroundings. The staff at all these places including the resort were very friendly and we made some very good friends there. So I would recommend the trip to Mexico, it is such a beautiful place, more so than I expected. Just be aware of the area you plan to travel and not wonder off on your own it is a perfectly safe place to go and well worth it. This is true of any country you visit that has proverty. Also my wallet was stolen unfortunately in the airport here in Chicago!! So where is the danger really?? Could be anywhere, Just be smart about what you do. And I would reccomend Mexico it is a country with such beauty you really need to see it if you like the tropics. I plan on trying to visit every few years!!!
