RE: Happy Cinco De Mayo!

in Olio di Balena4 months ago

The main reason I stopped visiting was the cartel violence and Americans have been targeted at times

Does the violence still continue till today? I thought all that was way back in the 1990s and everything would have been back to normal, apparently I was wrong. Although Mexico doesn't seem like one of my favorite places, but I guess it has a warmer weather than that of the US

Sort:  

They still have a lot of issues with violence from the cartels. Some places are safer than others, but even some tourist destinations have been attacked in the last few years. It's really sad, all over drugs and money...

It is warmer, I prefer the Caribbean coast to the Pacific personally. I think it's prettier!

Ohh I didn't actually know about this, I thought all these gangsterism are mostly resolved and these things don't happen anymore

It's still pretty bad down there, lots of violence and in parts of the country the cartel runs everything.
