I Love Mexican Vacations
Vacations in Mexico remain one of the best travel deals available.
Is it safe to go to Cabo San Lucas Mexico?
I got invited to go on vacation to Cabo San Lucas in June with my friend and her parents, and trust me, I've never seen the ocean and I am so excited.
But lately, I've been hearing about the drug wars and how its really unsafe to travel to Mexico. We are staying in a five star resort with condos, and they said we SHOULD be safe and everything, because we're probably staying in the resort, but I'm not sure. Would it be safe for 14 year olds to go there, and sometimes be by themselves in the resort? Or should we stay with her parents the whole time? Is it even safe to go…because I'm having second thoughts…?
Hola! I live here in Cabo and seriously we don't have any issues or problems here. Seriously, I'm more nervous in LA than I am here.
You will probably stay at your resort and go into the towns (there are two Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo) and do some shopping or perhaps check out the sights. Everything is really cool…but I would highly recommend NOT walking around at night (young white girls/guys stand out like you) or always go together to the beaches or for sightseeing during the day. In most cases the locals selling stuff are aggressive, but will leave you alone if you are firm with your no. As long as you aren't looking for drugs or prostitutes or stumbling around drunk you will be safe in cabo.

The violence is mostly all in the border towns. All the other states are very safe if you are not a drug dealer or police officer. Ten of thousands of spring breakers have already gone to Mexico so far this year and all have returned home safely. Don't you think that if one had been harmed, it would have been all over the cable news shows like the Natalie Holliman disappearence in Aruba a few years ago? Read the link below.

Cabochic is right on. Great advice…..I would imagine most crime in Cabo is petty thefts from opportunity….
Use good common sense and be aware of your surroundings at all times…but enjoy yourselves………

It's like saying I am not going to Nashville, KY because there is violence breaking out in Chicago, IL. They are so far apart you have nothing to worry about. Have fun and don't look for trouble and you will have a great time!!
