U.S. and Canada Update Travel Advisory For Those Traveling to Sinaloa Due to Ongoing Cartel Violence

As cartel-related violence continues to claim victims all over Mexico, both the U.S. and Canada have updated their travel advisory for people traveling to certain areas in the northern region of the country, warning them to exercise a high degree of caution if they do due to high levels of criminal activity as well as kidnappings.

A similar notice was sent out by the U.S. in July, warning people from travelling to the border city of Matamoros, Tamaulipas due to the increase of kidnappings for ransom targeting U.S. citizens and residents travelling on intercity buses.
