US EditionAmericans planning Mexico vacations face new safety concerns as US raises travel advisory
- In May 2025, the U.S. State Department and Embassy in Mexico issued a critical travel advisory warning visitors about rising security risks in key tourist areas including La Paz, Los Cabos, and the surrounding regions of Baja California Sur.
- The warning follows recent increases in cartel-related threats against officials and rising concerns about theft, scams, and violence affecting tourists in these popular Mexican destinations.
- Travelers should expect increased security presence, possible public transportation restrictions, and plan routes using monitored safety corridors while remaining alert to their surroundings.
- Travel advisor Sandra Awodele, who experienced a $250 scam in Tulum, recommends carrying multiple credit and debit cards, some U.S. Dollars, offline maps, and using anti-theft measures during visits.
- These advisories and safety tips suggest Americans finalizing summer plans should heed official guidance and remain vigilant to reduce risks of scams and violence while traveling in Mexico.
