Safest Mexican States According to the U.S.
The U.S. State Department’s analysis concludes that only two of Mexico’s 32 states stand out for their low risk level. According to the advisory, the safest states in Mexico are Yucatán and Campeche.
This means that those traveling to these states can do so safely, exercising caution, as both states have a significantly lower travel alert level than the rest of the country.
The safest state in Mexico, according to this analysis, is Yucatán. Located in the southeast of the country, Yucatán borders Campeche and Quintana Roo. It has a coastline on the Gulf of Mexico, and its capital is Mérida, a cultural, historical, and service-oriented city known as the White City.
As for what to see in Yucatán, visitors to this state have the opportunity to enjoy the richness of Mayan culture at its archaeological sites; the history held within its beautiful haciendas, many of which have recently been transformed into spas and boutique hotels; its beautiful beaches; and the mythical cenotes, mostly underground bodies of water that captivate visitors, transporting them to a magical world, unique on the planet.
Campeche is one of the two safest states in Mexico according to the U.S. This state is located in the southeast of the country, bordering the Gulf of Mexico, Yucatán, Quintana Roo, and Tabasco. Its capital, San Francisco de Campeche, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Furthermore, the state borders the neighboring nations of Guatemala and Belize.
Campeche’s geography combines coastline, rainforest, and archaeological sites.
In short, Yucatán and Campeche are the two safest states in Mexico, according to the U.S. State Department. Therefore, they are a very attractive option for travelers seeking safe environments during their stay in the country.
