Crime in Mexico: cruise passengers robbed at gunpoint {Gadling}

Feb 25th 2012 4:24PM The folks with tourist businesses in Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas are extremely good at keeping any crime a secret. There has been some terrible incidents in Puerto Vallarta over the past few months. I guess perception must be reality because no way it's safer than Mazatlan, as your story implied. But the media wants to beat Mazatlan up, and so the story goes. Believe what you want, but the facts are oozing out slowly, and NOTHING like this has ever happened to tourists there.
