EL PASO, TX (NewsNation) — Over the past six months, the U.S. Department of State has urged Americans to avoid travel to parts of Mexico and to “reconsider travel” to 11 more amid fears of violence by criminal cartels across the country.
Spring break: Is it safe to visit Mexico?
A renewed warning comes as the spring break season looms. Six states, including Tamaulipas, Sinaloa and Guerrero, are on the state department’s “do not travel” list due to the threat of crime and kidnapping.
Every border state in Mexico has at least a “reconsider travel” status, including the Baja California Sur area, which is home to Cabo, and the Quintana Roo area, which is home to Cancun, which are both popular spring break destinations for Americans — travelers are urged to “exercise increased caution.”
