Guerrero state – Level 4: Do Not Travel

Do not travel due to crime.

Armed groups operate independently of the government in many areas of Guerrero. Members of these groups frequently maintain roadblocks and may use violence towards travelers. U.S. government employees may not travel to the entire state of Guerrero, including Acapulco, Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa, and Taxco.

If you get Netflix watch Narcos:Mexico. One of their location scouts was murdered...

"He was reportedly found riddled with bullets in his car in a remote area near Hidalgo, which is known to have one of the highest murder rates in Mexico."

The series is very good. I would no longer go to Mexico though, ever.

Two San Diego residents went to Mexico for a family BBQ and did not return. Three bodies were found at the front of an apartment block, they had been tortured. Two were the young Americans.

Wow. Mexico is a mess. Some of the comments with that story makes one think.

Edit: I just spent the last hour researching Murders in Mexico. Good Night NUrse! It is actually crazy the stuff I find. Why anyone would go anywhere in Mexico right now just escapes me.

And it has the world’s most stringent gun laws. BTW only one gun store in Mexico. It’s on a military base.

Sad it was a place we all wanted to go in the 1980s.

It was already a mess at that time, just for different reasons. I spent a lot of my youth throughout the country as a missionary kid.

No way I'd go back by choice now. Last time I was there was around 2008 on a cruise, we stopped at Cozumel and I didn't even bother getting off the boat I was so tired of it

Willful ignorance of documented danger coupled w/ "won't happen to me" attitude has filled many an empty grave.
