Cancun and the Riviera Maya are two of the world\u2019s safest travel destinations and Mexicans are renowned for their hospitality, friendliness and generosity. Visitors are always given a warm welcome and you are sure to have a great vacation here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most of the incidents in Mexico reported by the media are taking place in the north \u2013 often in sparsely populated and mountainous areas \u2013 and in cities along the Mexico-US border, literally at the other end of the country from the Mexican Caribbean. It is important to put geography into perspective; Mexico is a large country; border cities mentioned in the State Department warning such as Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez are over 3,000 miles from Cancun (driving distance) and over four hours by air. To give you another example, it is as if you hear a report about a crime in New York or Boston and you live in Texas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Millions of US citizens safely visit Mexico each year and nearly one million of them have chosen to make their homes in this beautiful country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Common sense is the key to safety wherever you travel, whether at home or abroad, and may we suggest that you take certain precautions, just as you would if you were going to a new city in your own country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is perfectly safe to travel to Cancun, the Riviera Maya, other parts of the Mexican Caribbean and the Yucat\u00e1n. No violent crimes involving foreigners have been reported in Cancun or the Riviera Maya.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is no reason to consider changing your travel plans. Cancun\u2019s newly restored beaches are looking beautiful and the variety of tourist attractions on offer in the area just keeps growing by the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We look forward to welcoming you back to your home away from home and to helping you and your family have a wonderful vacation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>We hope to see you soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
