  3. Ok while I have not heard any specific cases of tourists being targetted for violence or kidnappings, since the war on the drug lords began violence has escalated to frightening levels throughout Mexico but most especially in the border areas. The border towns should be completely avoided in Mexico. You will be at a high risk when in a border town.

    Tourist areas like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta etc, are in general much richer towns, have better police forces, less corrupt, and better secured. A house was recently attacked by the Mexican army and a small drug cartel taken down right inside of Acapulco. the fighting went on throughout the night, but tourists were not involved.

    You are probably as at much risk traveling to NYC or Europe as traveling to a tourist location in Mexico. As long as you stick to the tourist routes and activities you will be fine. Residents in Puerto Vallarta realize how important tourism is to their well being and are always willing to help a foreigner out.. but then again its that way all over Mexico.

    I would say you shouldn’t worry about going to Puerto Vallarta at all, however Mexico is not like it was years ago and it is dangerous to run around having adventures all over the country with strangers you have just met. These days you need to use your head and stick to the usual tourist activities and bars, and keep your eyes open more then usual. If someone comes along and acts friendly and then tries to pry out some personal information from you, get rid of them.

    Have a great vacation! I’ll be out there in October myself :)

  4. Its a pitty that media makes all Mexico looks dangerous, but you are really smart in asking and knowing before judging.

    Puerto Vallarta is a touristic zone, and its really safe. People is friendly and food is awesome.

    Check this article out, is specifically from Puerto Vallarta, from an american citizen journalist who lives in PV.
