"Back Packing in Yucatan area" Cancún Warnings Or Dangers Tip by Fullmoonfever

Cancún Warnings and Dangers: 133 reviews and 42 photos

I have on occasion seen postings in the travel forum asking for advice about back packing thru or in the Yucatan area. I would be very careful about doing this. I have been to Mexico and love the place and the people, but it has never been a "low crime" area and is how going thru rough times.

If you decide to back pack anyway, I suggest approaching the reception desk at some of the up-scale hotels in or around Cancun or the other cites that have a lot of tourist and get advice from them.

I would not approach people in just any business, like restaurants', bars, etc.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
