Even Fox News says the Yucatan is safe
A on Fox video that mentions how safe it is in Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Merida. An interview with Robert Reed from Lonely Planet. I still don't think it's really safe her for Republicans but that is just my personal opinion...and I make an exception for the immediate members of my family.
Yucatan safer than ANY tourist destination in the USA!!!
And while parts of Mexico can be legitimately likened to a war zone, drug violence afflicts 80 of the country's 2,400 municipalities (equivalent to counties). Their locations have been well publicized: along the U.S. border in northern Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas states, and south to Sinaloa, Michoacan and parts of San Luis PotosÃ, Nayarit, Jalisco, Guerrero and Morelos states.
The flip side is that more than 95 percent of Mexico's municipalities are at least as safe as the average traveler's hometown. Yucatan state, for example, had 0.1 of a murder for every 100,000 people in 2010 - no U.S. tourist destination comes close to that. Most cities in central Mexico, outside of the scattered drug hot spots, have lower murder rates than Orlando.
