Mexico is a beautiful tourist destination and it would be a shame to let the problems in a few specific regions put a damper on enjoying the rest of this friendly country. From time to time, the U.S. State Department issues Travel Warning reports to make sure U.S. citizens are aware of any international security concerns. The most recent report was released July 12, 2013, with little changes from its prior on November 20, 2012, and highlights areas that are considered okay for travel as well as areas without a current travel advisory.
