Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, Tulum Open Amid Advisory Mix-Up

Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, and Tulum remain open for travelers despite confusion over the latest U.S. travel advisories for Mexico. The State Department rates Quintana Roo, home to Riviera Maya and Tulum, at Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution due to terrorism and crime risks from cartels and gangs. Shootings between rival groups have occurred, but tourist zones in Cancun, Tulum, and Playa del Carmen stay accessible if visitors stick to well-lit areas after dark.
