Mexico is a popular vacation destination, but safety risks vary greatly by region, so we assign travel advisory levels for each Mexican state. Some parts of the country are at level 1 (exercise normal precautions), while other parts are at level 4 (do not travel due to crime and/or kidnapping). If you have spring or summer travel plans to Mexico, look up the latest travel advisory level and security information for your particular destination at travel.state.gov/mexico before traveling and review the Embassy’s latest message for spring break travelers at mx.usembassy.gov/message-for-u-s-citizens-spring-break-travel-2/
