The recent arrest of drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is the latest volley in Mexico’s war on drug cartels. It’s also a reminder that the country is dealing with problems, including those that could easily scare off visitors.

KPLU travel expert Matthew Brumley says sure, there are areas that are dangerous. But Brumley, who just got back from a vacation in Mexico with his family, adds if you know where to go, it can be safe and enjoyable.

Border regions with the U.S. tend to be the least safe places, so fly into your destination. Now is not the time to take a road trip into or through Mexico.
