Isn Mexico City dangerous?
Yes. Mexico City is dangerous especially to people who don’t know Spanish or know what they’re doing. First, the group will not be living in Mexico City, but Guanajuato, about 4 hours from Mexico City. We will only go there once as a group once and that will be to the northern part of the city by Teotihuacán and we will be accompanied by competent and experienced personnel from ISA in addition to Profe Smith. Profe Smith has visited Mexico City several times and feels comfortable there. Granted, we will not be taking unusual risks — walking around at night nor strolling through neighborhoods that are even remotely near a problem area. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Profe Smith at: smithbe@mnstate.edu or (218) 477-4267 or see the State Department’s advisories on the main page of the Guanajuato Trip.
