Is La Paz Really Mexico’s Safest Undiscovered Beach Town?
A headline doing the rounds names one Mexican beach town as the safest undiscovered destination. We followed the claim back to its source. The post Is La Paz Really Mexico’s Safest Undiscovered Beach Town? appeared first on The Rio Times .
A travel site has named La Paz as the safest undiscovered beach town in Mexico. The site's safety score for La Paz is 90 out of 100, which is based on a crowdsourced traveler voting system mixed with government baselines. The same site also rates Los Cabos at 89 to 90, placing La Paz and Cabo at effectively the same level. However, on the official US travel advisory, Baja California Sur, where La Paz is located, is rated Level 2, which means "Exercise Increased Caution."
The only two Mexican states rated Level 1, which means "Exercise Normal Precautions," are Yucatán and Campeche. Progreso in Yucatán is suggested as a safer beach destination due to its lower tourist infrastructure and higher level of caution in official advisories.
