Mexico

It’s understandable why Americans these days are thinking twice about venturing south of the border. A wave of gruesome violence, much of it related to drug trafficking, has swept Mexico in the last two years, leaving thousands dead.

Popular tourist venues haven’t gone unscathed. Last summer, armed assailants shot up a town in northern Mexico that’s a gateway to the spectacular Copper Canyon region, killing 13 people. A pile of decapitated bodies turned up 75 miles from the great Mayan ruins at Chichén Itzá.

Although the U.S. government hasn’t warned Americans to stay away, it has urged caution. On its website, www.travel.state.gov, the State Department says, “While millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year, including thousands who cross the land border every day for study, tourism or business, increased levels of violence make it imperative that travelers understand the risks of travel to Mexico. . . . Common-sense precautions . . . can help ensure that travel to Mexico is safe and enjoyable.” [Read more…] about Top 5 Mexico Holiday Spots
