The U.S. State Department has issued an updated travel advisory for Mexico, warning Americans about potential dangers in the popular vacation destination.
Released on Aug. 12, the advisory raised Mexico to a Level 2 alert, urging travelers to “exercise increased caution” due to the threat of violent crime, including terrorism, kidnapping, and other criminal activity.
U.S. officials also warned that in certain areas they may have limited ability to assist travelers in emergencies.
“Violent crimes such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery are widespread,” the advisory notes. “There is also a risk of terrorist violence, including potential attacks.”
