Safety & Scams

Exercise increased caution; safety varies greatly by region; stick to tourist-heavy areas in Quintana Roo and Baja California Sur; avoid travel to some northern states due to crime and drug cartel activity; use reputable app-based taxis (Uber/Didi) especially at night; only withdraw cash from ATMS in well-lit, secure locations; keep your passport and valuables in a hotel safe.

Getting Around

Mexico City has an extensive and cheap Metro system; intercity buses (ADO, Primera Plus) are luxurious and very common; internal flights (Volaris, VivaAerobus) are affordable; car rentals are good for areas like the Yucatan Peninsula; ferries connect the mainland to islands like Cozumel.

Cultural Etiquette

Greetings are warm and often involve a handshake or light hug; punctuality is often flexible ('ahorita'); tipping is customary (10-15% in restaurants); politely haggle in markets but not in upscale stores; family is the cornerstone of Mexican society.

Internet & Connectivity

Digital infrastructure is excellent in urban and tourist areas; high-speed 4G/5G is widespread via Telcel and AT&T; free Wi-Fi is common in parks, squares, and cafes; some rural or mountainous areas in Chiapas or Oaxaca may have limited connectivity.
