As cartel-related crime continues to spread all over Mexico, the United States has issued new travel advisories for cruise lines stopping in two Mexican ports deemed to be too dangerous due to an increase in crime and kidnappings.
On the U.S. Department of State website, all 31 entities in Mexico as well as Mexico City are considered to be under some sort of travel warning. Although more than half are labelled as Level 1 and Level 2 warnings, 13 states in Mexico —including Sinaloa— are considered to be a risk for travelers due to elevated crime and murder rates.
