Mexico travel warning and going to the ruins in Costa Maya: Thoughts?

Wife and I were planning on going to these ruins/pyramids. With this new warning
I was wondering if anyone here would cancel the excursion.

I would not cancel the excursion. The warning is for Northern Mexican
states on the US border. You won't be near there.

I would not cross the border at El Paso, it is a dangerous area. I
wouldn't cancel my excursion at Costa Maya, though. They are not having
any drug wars in that area. Have fun.

The problems in Mexico are near the U.S. border by California. Costa
Maya is no where near any of the dangerous ares. I would go and enjoy
the ruins and not worry.

This is not the part of Mexico with drug war problems. I went on a
tour of the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins and it was the highlight of our
cruise. After checking various reviews of different tours, we booked
our tour with David Villagomez and Ivan Cohuo. David grew up playing
on the ruins and we actually saw what is left of his family's house at
the edge of the site. David and Ivan have a web site that supplies a
lot more information at:

We chose the tour that included having lunch with a Mayan family. It
was a really wonderful experience. I would highly recommend it.

we'll pop over to Vancouver, and cruise later on this year.


There is no fun in going somewhere, if you do not feel safe. A vacation
should be fun and as worry-free as possible. I agree with you, taking a
cruise is always a great idea. 8-)

Drinking what? I'm drinking a hazelnut decaf at this minute. It's very good,

It did seem odd.
