"The U.S. Embassy in Mexico has issued guidance to Americans headed to Mexico over the winter months, encouraging them to be mindful of the country's current Level 2 travel advisory and urging them to "exercise increased caution" due to "terrorism, crime, and kidnapping." The embassy shared advice for planning safe travel earlier this month, including "following the entry and exit requirements, reviewing local laws, and other travel guidance from the U.S. embassy or consulate.""
"Seven states including Baja California, Chiapas, Chihuahua, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Morelos, and Sonora have a Level 3 advisory, which means Americans should "reconsider travel." Six states -- Colima, Guerrero, Michoacan, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas -- have Level 4 advisories, indicating that Americans should not travel there. The State Department website reminds travelers that it has "limited ability to help in many parts of Mexico," and government employees aren't allowed to travel to certain high-risk areas."
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico advised Americans traveling during the winter to exercise increased caution because of terrorism, crime, and kidnapping.

A Level 2 advisory applies to 17 Mexican states, citing violent crimes such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery. Seven states carry Level 3 advisories recommending reconsideration of travel, while six states have Level 4 advisories advising against travel. Emergency services are limited in remote areas, and travelers should follow restrictions similar to U.S. government employees.
