Travel guide México

Well served, Mexico is a generally safe country for solo travelers. The wave of drug cartel violence and social repression generally spares tourists; neither the criminals nor the state want to attract too much publicity. However, tourists can be easy prey, especially in the subway, cab, or on the street after dark. The usual rules of caution apply: do not show your camera, your "banana" or your wallet.

Mexico is a huge country and it is impossible to discover it in one trip. Tour operators mainly offer ten-day stays based on a theme (Mayan culture, Aztec sites, etc.) or a region (the Pacific, Yucatán, Chiapas, the capital and its surroundings).

It is very easy to travel by plane in the country, as most cities have an airport. There is also a very good network of long distance buses with cheap fares. However, depending on the route, to save time and avoid long hours in the bus, the plane is often more interesting. Please note: with the emergence of low cost airlines on certain routes, air and bus fares are sometimes identical.
