Travel Weekly has published a useful map entitled Traveler Safety in Mexico (see map below) that shows specific places in Mexico to avoid or exercise caution in because of possible drug-cartel violence. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the travel warnings given on this map. However, it's interesting to note that most of the reported hot spots are in northern Mexico and on or near the Pacific coast, with the exclusion of tourist areas such as Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa, and Cabo San Lucas. Regions to the east and south of Mexico City -- Puebla, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, the Yucatán Peninsula, etc. -- are all presumed to be safe.

Are Canadians still safe in Mexico?
