The Crisis:
• Violence & Blockades: In response to the killing, cartel members have set fire to vehicles and established over 250 roadblocks across 20 states.
• Travel Disruptions: While airports remain technically open, most domestic and international flights in Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta have been canceled.
• Suspensions: All taxi and ride-share services in Puerto Vallarta are suspended, and some businesses have temporarily closed.
Affected Areas:
The shelter-in-place directive includes popular tourist hubs: Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, Tijuana, and Ensenada.
If You Are in Mexico:
Remain in your hotel or residence, avoid all non-essential movement, and stay away from areas with heavy law enforcement or military activity.
