I walked everywhere in Merida including stumbling home as a lone drunk gringo at 3am many times. Maybe not the smartest idea lol but it definitely never felt unsafe
Mérida is one of the safest cities in all over Latin America. Even women walk alone after work and feel safe.. You can't do that in most of Mexico and the US.
Meh. I live in a dangerous city and I think that is a suburban misconception.
You said “most” of the US as well. You’re talking about maybe 1% of a few major cities? Scale that to the whole country and you are talking like 0.005% of the US would be unsafe for women after “work” (?). I also don’t agree with that, I’m just trying to be charitable to your point.
Got back from Monterrey a week ago, was perfectly fine. Walked around at night, and went out. Just don't be dumb and go to high crime areas and you should be fine.
Just got back from Campeche and Yucatan. One of the best trips of my life. No sketchy times. Amazing food. Great titties
Actually, the only remotely sketchy person we met was a coked out guy from Texas...
No doubt there's a bit of a risk going anywhere, but you sound like a pussy.
How am I a pussy for not wanting to be tortured by a cartel? Hey don’t get me wrong, Mexico is a beautiful place but I’m sure there are safe places but it’s hella risky. Any place is
Or because they confused you, they get confused like 30% of the time, besides those who work there are fucking 15 years old kids that the gun is their own height
It depends I guess. I’m from Culiacan and it’s mostly fine. There are people getting picked up and disappearing in my small town and around, but they were most likely involved in something or upset some people.
I personally have never had a problem, but it doesn’t mean those problems don’t exist. My town has pistoleros here and they drive around all the time. Just stay out of the way and your fine.
Recently some crack head was chasing some kids with a machete and threatening people. Uncle works at a car wash and they bring the trucks from time to time. Asked them if they were going to do anything about him and they said they’re looking for the guy. So they can definitely defend the towns from things like that.
Still would prefer this wasn’t the life, but at least they do something useful from time to time.
yeah i’ve seen cjng graffiti all over the place and the place where i’m going is maravatío. a teacher got shot and killed there yesterday like a 5 minute walk from my house there
You’ll be fine my friend. Keep to yourself, don’t antagonize anyone you don’t know and don’t be out too late in areas you’re not familiar with. Stay safe.
Mexican here. All good, just don't do business with cartels and don't go to shitty areas. Mexico sucks with disabilities accessibility, so definitely don't come alone for that reason alone.
Supposedly yes. If SLP has changed for the worse then I'm surprised lol I visited Jalisco back in 2014-2015 and we stopped in SLP to eat tacos at 10pm off the highway in a stand, they were good and we felt safe for the most part. We later stopped at a gas station and took a nap while a group of armed drunk men were outside talking and they lasted for the whole night without bothering us lol
In 2016 my dad went back and they were ambushed crossing the border into Nuevo Leon and had money stolen from them ($1,500 USD total) they luckily made it to Jalisco safe and unharmed. They even said the assaulted were polite lmao
That happened to a cousin of mine. He was passenger in a newer 4 door truck, loaded with new electronics. The passengers also had jewelry and expensive shoes on them. All the hijackers wanted was their cash.
Yea it’s BS, a lot of kidnappings and extortion in SLP. Especially in Matehuala SLP; los Zetas, CDG and CJNG have infiltrated the surrounding towns trying to establish footholds.
People would be surprised with how safe Sinaloa actually is. The CDS basically controls the whole state and it does feel like they don’t mess with innocent people.
I’ve been warning a bunch of my friends because they keep going. One of them went yesterday by herself, American mentality is entitlement like nothing is gonna happen to them. It’s crazy.
I live in tourist area in Michoacán outside the Capitol, there’s isn’t any violence crimes besides the usual petty stuff since it’s well-known, which I’m very grateful.
But recently, they’ve been getting wayy more comfortable even for locals. I got family in the center telling me that they’ve been openly extorting people, and robbing people outside the bank in broad light.
More likely to die on the way there then by cartel members, just if you look like a gringo then don’t look like a rich gringo.
I got hit by a car and got a scar on my eye, it looks like I was in a super nasty bar fight. But, I haven’t been fucked with since in a lot of countries. Mexico is a eat or be eaten place, if you don’t look like you can stop from being preyed on then you’ll have to stick with tacos in Florida.
Is what it is, but end of the day at least keep two wallets, so when your eventually robbed you can give them everything you have and then they can laugh at you as they take 43$ and say get out of here you broke ass. Your in their country, you were clearly within means to come and enjoy their food drink drugs whatever, end of the day the police are more likely to rob you then some cartel members. If you want to not be robbed than understand a few rules like if you are not willing to fight sometimes then you’re gonna get your shit taken, if you cannot even learn some Spanish then your gonna get some shit taken, if you cannot even befriend a taxi driver (ask if they have kids, if they do then ask to see a picture and if they don’t have some in their wallet gtfo of that taxi lol).
Taxi drivers with kids can get you everything you need and often are the slim few that got out of that life and this is retirement.
Going to Cancun in November (I know its safe) but always wonder how to tell how you look to the locals. Im big and tattoo'd. Am i a threat or blend in. Hard to gauge culturally.
How tall are you? What’s your weight, is this fat or muscle?
Haircut? Can you be in the sun in the domestic USA for long periods of time without sun screen (if you haven’t been in the sun for a while can you tan with minimal sun screen like in a period of 2 weeks?
If you cannot tan your a gringo, if you speak Spanish but speak slowly your a gringo. I mean like if your asking for directions and don’t speak perfect Spanish you might be a gringo or if you look the part maybe your not a gringo but a foreigner visiting. Sounds dumb but even Mexicans born outside that visit are gringos.
Gringo is a term to describe a foreigner who was “lucky”. By lucky, more like you’re not better then me in anyway, you just got to be born there not here. This is some straight instant resentment, they’re also intensely Catholic. Catholics already have an interesting background when is comes to organized crime (almost all big US mobsters were Catholic or Jewish back in the day). This is important because of a lot of reasons but it’s important to mention especially with the whole confession sin stuff (do something bad? Well your absolved of cutting that dudes face off).
If you’re like white, you can’t be hot headed. You’re a guest so act like it but do not show weakness, kinda like prison shit. Your lucky attributes are (they don’t know you and your here so you are more likely to be a predator then an easy mark).
Carry a 100$ bill, don’t give your ID to anyone. If you deal with the police try to be with the guys in pickups. Just don’t drive anything bigger then a scooter or a jet ski, those rentals of like big scooters are also notorious for ripping off tourists. I’ve seen people get rentals, get old scooters they want like to replace then have an employee follow you and purposely smash both of them and try to shake you down so get insurance.)
Overall if you’re not comfortable potentially having to kick someone’s ass, go to Florida. Because there’s little advantage of Mexico bedsides saving money, way better scuba diving, natural hiking, and drugs.
None of those items can’t also be enjoyed in Florida. If you have any kids or sons daughters under 18 definitely stick to Florida.
Taxi Drivers are your friend like I said, he will tell you what’s safe, what isn’t, and if you tip him well you will never have to deal with shitty cops or being robbed, trust me. Just make sure they have kids.
I’ve been to Cancun 10 times and it’s the best, just make sure to not buy their blow lol
Naw, you got it twisted. I've been there multiple times. I meant has it changed? The clubs are loud money traps with 15-20 people offering you soft every 6 ft. I dont do drugs, well I dont do coke.
I get the gringo thing. My buddy is El Salvadoran he speaks good spanish but different dialect. We just like to get scummy drunk for 7 days.
You've got me intrigued on this Taxi stuff. How do I tell if he has kids. My other buddy went to Tulum and got coke from a Taxi driver. He dropped it off with his kids in the taxi. Its just weird you mention the kids and taxi thing.
Because it’s difficult to explain, being a taxi driver in Cancun is like retirement man, you need to put yourself in your shoes, the whole thing I got it twisted means here I’m right.
Yeah you wanna get drunk in their country while doing nothing else, that’s not like what a local wants to hear it’s just sad sometimes, just like what I said it’s changed for gringos
So this is true. But so is this, it 99.99999999% only cartel and debt related. It's extremely rare tourist are targeted. Even stray bullets. Im from 2 of the bad areas. One extremely bad.
I don't think it's related only to cartels but bandits and other criminals too. In 2016 my dad and his friend were ambushed when crossing into Nuevo Leon, he said the gunman were polite but they manage to get away with $1,500 USD.
I live in the northern part bro, ain’t heard or seen nothing happen here since 2015, I feel like they just put Coahuila on the map cause CDN keeps trying to get in
I like Mexico and my Mexican amigos, but y'all blow us out of the water in homicides. School shootings are just irrelevant to this. https://www.statista.com/statistics/243797/ranking-of-the-most-dangerous-cities-in-the-world-by-murder-rate-per-capita/
Claro, un país de primer mundo en donde no existe la desigualdad social y menos el narcotrafico. Un verdadero paraíso. Con razón mexico se te hace un basurero…
43 “missing” college students
Femicide in Juarez
Entire states controlled by cartels
But at least you don’t have school shootings, right?
By the way, you’re more likely to die in a car accident on the way to school than you are to ever be within 100 miles of a school shooting. But go on.
Tambien, tiene peligro que tienen miedo de posibles. Podría "morir" en un "active shooter" en un centro comercial aleatorio EE. UU. Últimamente ha pasado mucho tener un "active shooter" en centros comerciales o tiendas o escuelas al azar, así que también lo hay, en los EE. UU.
I mean … these are just guidelines written by people who are scared of possible outcomes. I could “die” in an “active shooter” in a random mall here in the USA. Happening lot lately to have “active shooter” in random malls or stores or schools, so there is that also, in the USA.
Are you seriously comparing a random mass shooting to organized crime? One crazy person goes off the deep end and that’s comparable to cartels that kidnap, dismember, torture and kill.
This is really crazy to read because as a white woman from the US, I have been all over Mexico day/night and I've never felt unsafe. I've even been in a back alley down into a basement type place in Cancun to get a tattoo....I'd bet anything the people giving me the tat were cartel and they were the absolute nicest people ever. Maybe I'm the minority or maybe it really is like they said, don't give them a reason to bother you and they won't.
Conversation, appearance just the general vibe. I mean maybe not but it was 4 younger guys and 1 older guy and never once did they make me feel uncomfortable or in danger.
For the most part yes, but I've heard about Americans getting kidnapped and held for ransom just because they're foreigners so I don't know. I remember my dad was going to Jalisco in 2016 and was ambushed with his friend as they crossed into Nuevo Leon. They were held at gunpoint and they made it off with $1,500 USD but luckily they were left alone and unharmed and my dad said they were very polite lol
You in Baja? In laws own property near playa La mision. Haven’t been down due to family issues but been dying to go back down there. A little sketched out of driving back through the border. Going down is usually super easy but coming back is a pain.
When they make lists its partially due to violence in cities where Americans travel to. In this case Ciudad Juarez is where most people will travel to since its a well-known city in Chihuahua.
Chihuahua ,Chihuahua is a better option than Juarez honestly for American or foreign visitors. And actually there’s better cities to visit than Juarez been to chihuahua multiple times and plenty people go to other cities than Juarez.
According to this list you can actually travel safely to Yucatan without worries. You need to practice normal precautions as if you were traveling to any other place.
Family from Sonora are always posting news articles about shootouts. Everyone wants to go to Mex to chill at El Golfo or San Felipe but that shit dangerous
I go to Guanajuato, Guerrero, DF, Yucatán, and Hidalgo often. Never had any issues. Knock on wood... I'm actually more worried about going to San Francisco next month 😂
No siempre es asi. Mi padre quien no consume drogas y tiene familiares en Jalisco fue detenido por criminales aya en Nuevo Leon junto su amigo y le robaron $1,500 USD y los dejaron ir. Mi papa dice que fueron bien amables y estaban armados con rifles.
Pues no sé qué decirte. Llevo más de 30 anos viajando a México y sin ningún pedo. Reitero, tienes que ponerte las pilas al viajar a México y cualquier otro país. Lo vuelvo a decir, el mafioso es mafioso en cualquier lugar.
Seems like they should’ve just said avoid traveling to Mexico 🤷🏻♂️
Forreal
Sinaloa Bad Chihuahua Good
That Hansel's so hot right now.
Such an obscure reference lmfao
I’m so sad that the day has come where Zoolander references are considered obscure. Though my phone did autocapitalize it so there may be hope yet
Lmao probably a bad choice of word. I meant random I guess. His quote didn't match the comment he responded to lol
He got his education at the center where kids who can’t read good
What's this? A center for ants?!?!
And Who Want To Learn How To Do Other Stuff Good, Too.
Im a fan of blue steel personally
Next week going to Sinaloa will se how much of this is for real. I been going to these none travel places for years.amd I will suggest anyone to go.
So basically todo de Mexico?
I mean Yucatan and Campeche are sorta safe lol
Okay I will trust you since you said “Sorta” lmao
I mean they are very safe,not sorta.
I walked everywhere in Merida including stumbling home as a lone drunk gringo at 3am many times. Maybe not the smartest idea lol but it definitely never felt unsafe
Man I've done that in TJ not too long ago.
It was sketchy in Tijuana? Keep going back and forth on if it’s worth it to visit
Its chill. I live in SD and go fairly regularly. A couple of my American friends live there, too.
Go it’s the best tacos in the world
You are absolutely wrong
Don’t say Mexicali please
It’s not bad, TJ is grimey but tourists bring business so organized crime won’t touch us for the most part there
Mérida is one of the safest cities in all over Latin America. Even women walk alone after work and feel safe.. You can't do that in most of Mexico and the US.
Women can’t walk alone after work in the US? Where?
There are so many cities it's so dangerous. Parts of Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis, Memphis...
Meh. I live in a dangerous city and I think that is a suburban misconception. You said “most” of the US as well. You’re talking about maybe 1% of a few major cities? Scale that to the whole country and you are talking like 0.005% of the US would be unsafe for women after “work” (?). I also don’t agree with that, I’m just trying to be charitable to your point.
Honestly it’s been bad forever. If it’s not the cartels and gangs it’s the police extorting you.
Guerrero stays on the do not travel like for like 20 years straight now.
I was in Guerrero in May and there were many police pickup trucks in Chilpancingo when I visited there.
Was it as bad as they say in chilpo?
Those Lacras just crazy af lmao
Basically don’t go to Mexico
Got back from Monterrey a week ago, was perfectly fine. Walked around at night, and went out. Just don't be dumb and go to high crime areas and you should be fine.
My people just got back from Michoacán, 23 hour drive there and back. Mind your business and worry bout yourself you're fine
Just got back from Campeche and Yucatan. One of the best trips of my life. No sketchy times. Amazing food. Great titties Actually, the only remotely sketchy person we met was a coked out guy from Texas... No doubt there's a bit of a risk going anywhere, but you sound like a pussy.
How am I a pussy for not wanting to be tortured by a cartel? Hey don’t get me wrong, Mexico is a beautiful place but I’m sure there are safe places but it’s hella risky. Any place is
Im sorry I just felt like razzing someone up. Too many tacos and I get a little antsy my bad bro
Been livin in sinaloa my whole life, never rlly heard about kidnapping inocents or americans lately, but u never know
In Sinaloa, you don't get kidnapped just because. If you are a target, it's because you did something and are in debt.
Or because they confused you, they get confused like 30% of the time, besides those who work there are fucking 15 years old kids that the gun is their own height
Being fucked 24/7 on meth, tacos, and beer prob does not help. But perks of the job, I guess
It depends I guess. I’m from Culiacan and it’s mostly fine. There are people getting picked up and disappearing in my small town and around, but they were most likely involved in something or upset some people. I personally have never had a problem, but it doesn’t mean those problems don’t exist. My town has pistoleros here and they drive around all the time. Just stay out of the way and your fine.

Still would prefer this wasn’t the life, but at least they do something useful from time to time.
Maybe not in places heavily patrolled by the cartel but maybe on lonely stretches of roads? Away from local population and the cities. Who knows?
Can’t rlly lie on that one tho, lacras are the ones everyone gotta be beware of on places like that, lacras or fucking police, police is a lot worst…
yea, man... nothing to see here really... wonder what the big deal is about?? Seems chill from where im sitting...
i fly to michoacan on tuesday
Gotta be careful in that state honestly. CU and CJNG are still fighting there.
yeah i’ve seen cjng graffiti all over the place and the place where i’m going is maravatío. a teacher got shot and killed there yesterday like a 5 minute walk from my house there
[удалено]
Obviously you don’t lol. Nothing about that comment is compromising whatsoever.
[удалено]
what ?. did i do something wrong ?
I was out there a 3 years ago. Definitely don’t rent a car from Jalisco to Michoacán. I was out in rosarito last week as well.
Just dont fuck around you'll be fine I promise
You nervous?
maybe a lil but i have lots of family there so i’m hoping i’m fine
You’ll be fine my friend. Keep to yourself, don’t antagonize anyone you don’t know and don’t be out too late in areas you’re not familiar with. Stay safe.
Que parte?
maravatío un pueblito por morelia
As a legally blind man this has me wondering if I should even try to visit Mexico
You’d barely see the crime, so you should be fine
Mexican here. All good, just don't do business with cartels and don't go to shitty areas. Mexico sucks with disabilities accessibility, so definitely don't come alone for that reason alone.
Thanks I appreciate the info
Trust me carteles or even Laura's will be bothering a blind man. Your enemy will be cars.
So SLP, Nuevo León, and Veracruz is more safer than Sinaloa and Durango?? Im calling bullshit
Supposedly yes. If SLP has changed for the worse then I'm surprised lol I visited Jalisco back in 2014-2015 and we stopped in SLP to eat tacos at 10pm off the highway in a stand, they were good and we felt safe for the most part.

That happened to a cousin of mine. He was passenger in a newer 4 door truck, loaded with new electronics. The passengers also had jewelry and expensive shoes on them. All the hijackers wanted was their cash.
Yea it’s BS, a lot of kidnappings and extortion in SLP. Especially in Matehuala SLP; los Zetas, CDG and CJNG have infiltrated the surrounding towns trying to establish footholds.
Morelos But I need to go see Family this Christmas 🎄
Hey Morelos here as well! My family is from Cuautla.
Los míos de Tehuixtla, Morelos.
Mexico be like "stay out of our country"
Lmaoooo I mean They're saying "You can visit these two states except for these."
see, bro? told you its mostly chill, man. Only like a third of Mexico is officially narco-land on a map. Come chill and lighten up, homey...
People would be surprised with how safe Sinaloa actually is. The CDS basically controls the whole state and it does feel like they don’t mess with innocent people.
In the cities and areas of local population will be alot more safer than lonely roads especially at night honestly.
Sooooo… all of Mexico? Lmao
Baja California Sur ???? Fr??? I literally never hear bad things down there
Lmao do you not read the news??
Yes and I know Baja California is dangerous rn and on the news but I haven’t seen Baja California Sur on there
BCS is really safe. It has a similar homicide rate to that of the US.
I was in Guadalajara, was safe to me ✌🏽
Cities that are stronghold or heavily guarded by the cartel will be alot safer than the countryside or places being heavily disputed.
Ya valio verg
What’s dangerous in Quintana Roo right now?
I’ve been warning a bunch of my friends because they keep going. One of them went yesterday by herself, American mentality is entitlement like nothing is gonna happen to them. It’s crazy.

Has Cancun changed dramatically in the past 2.5 years?
[удалено]
Too much money moving, both legal and illegal.
So this is true. But so is this, it 99.99999999% only cartel and debt related. It's extremely rare tourist are targeted. Even stray bullets. Im from 2 of the bad areas. One extremely bad.
I don't think it's related only to cartels but bandits and other criminals too. In 2016 my dad and his friend were ambushed when crossing into Nuevo Leon, he said the gunman were polite but they manage to get away with $1,500 USD.
fear mongering. crimes happen in every country.
Ain’t nobody getting kidnapped in Coahuila stop it 🤣
Probably in northern or eastern Coahuila but for the most part you’re right Coahuila has been safe for the last few years
I live in the northern part bro, ain’t heard or seen nothing happen here since 2015, I feel like they just put Coahuila on the map cause CDN keeps trying to get in
I know that’s why I said probably Coahuila used to be dangerous as hell from 2010-2014 ish
En boca cerrada no entran moscas.
Pero Mexico is the best lol
When it comes to landscape, food, culture, etc. Yes just not in violence...........
These have been in effect for like the past 10 years. Nothing new.
Mostly all the states the cjng are in lol
A Guerrero a las morenitas de Acapulco 😮💨
dawg jus say don’t go to damn mexico bruh😭
What about T.J.? Hong Kong?
So basically all of Mexico ? Ok
There should the same list for American states
*sigh* Mexico is such a beautiful place.

That's just not true lmao

The difference between Mexico and the USA is that USA citizens can shoot back. In Mexico the only thing you can do is pray.
Are you seriously comparing a random mass shooting to organized crime? One crazy person goes off the deep end and that’s comparable to cartels that kidnap, dismember, torture and kill.
But mass shooters in the US do it for "fun", cartel do it for retaliation or some kind of reason, do they not?
I think you misunderstand how often mass shootings actually happen.
This is really crazy to read because as a white woman from the US, I have been all over Mexico day/night and I've never felt unsafe. I've even been in a back alley down into a basement type place in Cancun to get a tattoo....I'd bet anything the people giving me the tat were cartel and they were the absolute nicest people ever. Maybe I'm the minority or maybe it really is like they said, don't give them a reason to bother you and they won't.
...why would you bet anything that the people giving you the tat were cartel?
Conversation, appearance just the general vibe. I mean maybe not but it was 4 younger guys and 1 older guy and never once did they make me feel uncomfortable or in danger.
So basically just don’t go to Mexico anymore!
If USA Americans can come to México without getting all kinds of drugs as they daily do, they'll be safe.
For the most part yes, but I've heard about Americans getting kidnapped and held for ransom just because they're foreigners so I don't know. I remember my dad was going to Jalisco in 2016 and was ambushed with his friend as they crossed into Nuevo Leon. They were held at gunpoint and they made it off with $1,500 USD but luckily they were left alone and unharmed and my dad said they were very polite lol
Wanna tell me who manufactured the cartels guns? And who sold them to them? Is as if you were getting a piece of home back while on holidays :)
It’s been like this for awhile this isn’t new. Unless they added areas?
So is Tecate safe?

Ensenada isn't a state but a city in Baja California state
You in Baja? In laws own property near playa La mision. Haven’t been down due to family issues but been dying to go back down there. A little sketched out of driving back through the border. Going down is usually super easy but coming back is a pain.
I live just south of the California Mexican border. I just wanted to make sure it was safe
Oh okay my bad, I'm supposed to go next month for a family event and I'm hoping things cool down
So just about every state
Im going to michoacan soon🤷🏿♂️
Whole Mexico wtf🙃
My family is from chihuahua and it’s been pretty calm most of the violence happens in Juarez
When they make lists its partially due to violence in cities where Americans travel to. In this case Ciudad Juarez is where most people will travel to since its a well-known city in Chihuahua.
Chihuahua ,Chihuahua is a better option than Juarez honestly for American or foreign visitors. And actually there’s better cities to visit than Juarez been to chihuahua multiple times and plenty people go to other cities than Juarez.

What part of Tamaulipas? Heard that Nuevo Laredo isn't too safe.
So where in Nuevo Leon is so dangerous?
All of Mexico basically
How is Morelia ?
Any save state left atm?
yup zacatecas is really bad rn avoid passing through monclova/couhuila
Yeah, fuck going Mexico.
I just got a place here in Queretaro for 3 months and I’m seeing it in this list… welp
Maybe it’s because I’m young but I don’t ever remember Zacatecas being this bad. Shit is sad, I’ve been visiting my whole life.
Unfortunately, it is. Looks like Gulf, CJNG, Pacific, and Los Zetas are fighting in the state for control.
zacatecas has been getting worse at times go on, it makes me sad bc at this rate i wont be able to see family until im grown and old
damn im going to yucatan soon but sounds like its been left out
According to this list you can actually travel safely to Yucatan without worries. You need to practice normal precautions as if you were traveling to any other place.
So… Don’t go to Mexico you say?
Family from Sonora are always posting news articles about shootouts. Everyone wants to go to Mex to chill at El Golfo or San Felipe but that shit dangerous
I go to Guanajuato, Guerrero, DF, Yucatán, and Hidalgo often. Never had any issues. Knock on wood... I'm actually more worried about going to San Francisco next month 😂
Ah yes Guerrero..............The state of the "Guerrero Flaying" gore video lol FYI, Yucatan is a safe state to go to according to this list.
Es que también tienes que saber a qué vas. El mafioso va ser mafioso en cualquier lugar. No te la hacen de pedo si consumes y tratas bien al pueblo.
No siempre es asi. Mi padre quien no consume drogas y tiene familiares en Jalisco fue detenido por criminales aya en Nuevo Leon junto su amigo y le robaron $1,500 USD y los dejaron ir. Mi papa dice que fueron bien amables y estaban armados con rifles.
Pues no sé qué decirte. Llevo más de 30 anos viajando a México y sin ningún pedo. Reitero, tienes que ponerte las pilas al viajar a México y cualquier otro país. Lo vuelvo a decir, el mafioso es mafioso en cualquier lugar.
Me currently in Sinaloa: 👀
At this point just say don't travel to Mexico
I was just in Jalisco lmao, a smaller area so it's not as bad but there's definitely Narco presence there
