Heavily armed members of criminal groups often patrol areas of the state an=
d operate with impunity particularly along the border region from Reynosa t=
o Nuevo Laredo. In these areas, local law enforcement has limited capacity =
to respond to incidents of crime. Law enforcement capacity is greater in th=
e tri-city area of Tampico, Ciudad Madero, and Altamira, which has a lower =
rate of violent criminal activity compared to the rest of the state.

Located on Mexico's Pacific coast, Zihuatanejo offers travelers an authenti=
c Mexican experience full of brilliant sunsets and laid-back vibes. Here, s=
hopaholics can buy local handicrafts (think: ceramics and woodcarvings), an=
d foodies can savor fresh fish tacos and ceviche along the beach. The city'=
s Playa La Ropa serves as the main beach and stands out because of its clea=
n, family-friendly atmosphere. Just off the coast, divers and snorkelers ca=
n pick from more than 30 dive sites brimming with marine life.

Ixtapa's curved coastline is packed with hotels, restaurants and nightlife,=
 giving the Pacific coast city (located just north of Zihuatanejo) a bustli=
ng vibe. Playa El Palmar, the main beach, often proves better for sunset st=
rolls and people-watching than swimming or snorkeling due to the strong wav=
es. Still, warm, clear and generally gentle water farther offshore makes Ix=
tapa an excellent destination for beginner scuba enthusiasts. Anyone intere=
sted in the area's history should also explore the Costa Grande Archaeologi=
cal Museum, a small museum that details the various cultures and events tha=
t make the region unique.

Sand, nightclubs, all-inclusive resorts and inexpensive flights from the U.=
S. make Cancun a go-to spot for spring breakers and vacationers seeking an =
easy beach getaway. But the city also sits close to lush jungles and tranqu=
il cenotes, making it an excellent option for nature lovers. Not to mention=
, travelers will find diverse and cheap street food served from various car=
ts in the downtown area. Visiting in fall or winter will ensure you see thi=
s city in its most tranquil light, but December through April is when the w=
eather is closest to perfect.



Ornate colonial buildings, busy plazas and colorful homes are everywhere yo=
u turn in this UNESCO World Heritage-listed city. Guanajuato is known for i=
ts subterranean streets and tunnels, which you can explore on a walking tou=
r or at your own leisure. After admiring the city's cobblestone roadways an=
d charming architecture, grab a souvenir or bite to eat at the bustling Mer=
cado Hidalgo. If you enjoy art, arrive in October when the popular Festival=
 Internacional Cervantino takes place.

Anglers recognize Manzanillo as a world-class deep-sea fishing destination =
for anyone searching for sailfish and marlin, but travelers of any ilk will=
 enjoy a trip to this Pacific coast destination. The city's two bays mean t=
here is no shortage of beaches for visitors to swim and sunbathe on: Top sp=
ots include Playa la Audencia and Playa Miramar. Plus, water sports like sn=
orkeling and kayaking are also popular activities to enjoy here. If you hav=
e time, visit the small town of Barra de Navidad (about 30 miles northwest)=
 for charming hotels, restaurants and stores along the beach.

Travel to this city in southern Mexico for a full immersion into Mexican cu=
lture. Situated more than 5,000 feet above sea level and surrounded by the =
Sierra Madre del Sur mountain range, Oaxaca is the place to experience nati=
ve customs. In Oaxaca, travelers can visit vibrant markets and dine on deli=
cious Mexican food. Standout cultural sites include the preserved ruins of =
Monte Alb=C3=A1n and the Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzm=C3=A1n church, whi=
ch dates back to the 16th century and was used for a time as military barra=
cks.

Cabo San Lucas is a party destination in the Baja peninsula, but the boiste=
rous city also features some of Mexico's most luxurious hotels and top-notc=
h golf courses. The beaches in Cabo San Lucas are beautiful but are primari=
ly for sunbathing; only select stretches of sand are safe for swimming beca=
use of steep ocean floor drop-offs and strong undercurrents. Stay in nearby=
 San Jos=C3=A9 del Cabo if you're looking for some respite from Cabo's busy=
 beaches and loud nightclubs.

For a vacation packed with authentic character, head to Puebla. This coloni=
al city, which sits about 80 miles southeast of Mexico City, is filled with=
 numerous churches, but its main draws are its stunning Talavera pottery an=
d its sweet and spicy cuisine. Visitors must try mole poblano (made with nu=
merous ingredients, including chiles, meat, chocolate, cinnamon and garlic)=
 and chiles en nogada (chiles stuffed with beef and served with a walnut sa=
uce and fruit like peaches, apples and pomegranate seeds). When the sun set=
s, venture to Callej=C3=B3n de los Sapos to listen to live music.

If you're looking for an experience away from the crowds, head to historic =
Zacatecas. A hot spot for silver mining, this city boasts a rich heritage t=
hat visitors can experience through local food and cultural sites like Mina=
 El Ed=C3=A9n (a 16th-century mine with a rock and minerals museum) and the=
 Museo Pedro Coronel (an art museum). For an extra special treat, take a ca=
ble car to the top of Cerro de la Bufa, where you'll be rewarded with sweep=
ing views of the city below.

While some people might recommend not including a visit to Teotihuacan on a=
 3 day Mexico City itinerary, preferring to stick to the city itself, we di=
sagree: Teotihuacan is too impressive to miss, and is a great way to break =
up day one and day three, both of which are heavy on city sights!

If your 3 days in Mexico City fall over a Monday, check what is open and pl=
an accordingly: much of the city, such as restaurants, etc, seemed to opera=
te as business as usual, but museums were virtually all closed.

This is a city that is teeming with life and activity and is exciting for a=
nyone interested in food, culture, history, archaeology, art, or any other =
number of fascinating subjects, and 3 days in Mexico City could never be co=
nsidered a waste.

As of early 2022, the United States has issued a level 4 travel advisory in=
 the entire country of Mexico due to COVID-19 concerns. Be sure to check th=
e latest US State Department travel advisory status before your trip, howev=
er, as it may have changed by the time you read this article.

The U.S. also says that visitors should exercise increased caution when tra=
veling to Mexico City due to instances of both violent and petty crime. Tho=
ugh relatively rare, these crimes include kidnapping, so travelers must kee=
p their wits about them while exploring the city.

One of the key places that solo female travelers should be especially wary =
of in CDMX is Iztapalapa. This area is known for having higher rates of att=
acks on women than anywhere else in the whole city.

In the evening, Mexico City really comes alive, and you should fully take a=
dvantage of that from your first night. Make your way to Licorer=C3=ADa Lim=
antour for colorful cocktails and filling sandwiches to finish off day 1 of=
 your Mexico City trip.

Downtown Mexico City, or the Historic city center, is a UNESCO World Herita=
ge Site. This is a hotspot with buzzing activity, important monuments, and =
restaurants. Pop over to El Cardenal or Cafe De Tacuba to try a local break=
fast favorite. Both places get pretty busy in the AM, so show up early or p=
repare for hungry crowds.

On your third day visiting Mexico City, start by taking an Uber ride 40 min=
utes south of the city center to the neighborhood of Coyoacan. This stop on=
 your Mexico City itinerary has a lot of different things to offer. Kick of=
f the day with caramel-drenched french toast or an incredible plate of eggs=
 benedict.

In the morning, head to Terminal de Autobuses de Pasajeros de Oriente (TAPO=
) in Mexico City. Buy a bus ticket to Puebla. Round trip tickets cost aroun=
d 400MXN (20USD). The bus will take about 2 hours to reach Puebla, and the =
system is really easy to use. Upon arrival in the charming town, grab a cap=
puccino and croissant at Bistro 702.
