    Planning a visit or moving to Mexico? Check out the Mexico Travel Journal amzn.to/3nTOSJO The Mexico Travel Journal is a small Journal Notebook I created for people planning to spend time in Mexico. More than just a journal notebook, the Mexico Travel Journal contains important information on travelling in Mexico like Tourist Card Requirements and limitations, Entering Mexico by Land and Driving Tips, as well as important Safety Tips. The Journal section contains a daily planner and a daily notes page with enough space for travel of up to 45 days. The Mexico Travel Journal also a valuable spanish phrase section with over 250 commonly used phrases to help you in your journey. Since Mexico is a country that uses the Metric system, I've also included several Metric to Imperial conversion charts for easy reference.

    The state of Guanajuato is a large state. There may indeed be some unsafe places in the state. I own property in the city of Guanajuato and have been there many many times in the last 20 years. I have never witnessed anything ever in the city that is dangerous. In fact I would say you are far more likely to be in danger in the USA. If that’s what they are comparing it to.

    They meant the state of Guanajuato is dangerous, which is true in some parts primarily because of cartels that moved here), but the City of Guanajuato isn't dangerous at all. Of course, you have to take regular precautions, but it's very safe because it's a tourist area. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip!

    My wedding is here in July, just a few months away and none of my family will even consider coming. We went at the end of January and are now considering moving there. We had nothing but amazing experiences. Leon was also a great place to take a day trip to. As with all cities, you must stay vigilant of your surroundings. Though, I felt safer here than some places in the metro areas where I live in the states.

    Hi Jason. I live here iN GTO. i had no idea about the city being on a travel advisory, but wouldn’t be surprised that the state is. With Celaya and Irapuato being the the state of Guanajuato. It’s 6 pm and I’m about to walk to centro and then back around 10. I do this fairly regularly and don’t have a problem. Wish I’da known you were here. I would’a bought you a taco or four. 😂

    It is indeed a beautiful and colorful city where danger does not seem to have any place. The images give me the feel of a tranquil and cosy city.
    The same is said about Lisbon, Portugal and some places in the south of Italy in Europe, places you have probably visited, and they are no more no less dangerous than any other cities in other countries. I have lived there and never had any moment where it felt dangerous. I have only encountered very friendly people. Fear mongering that is what 'they' love to advertise. Appreciate you sharing Mexico and your experiences there. Great video! Lovely weather! Thanks for sharing Jason. Happy travels ☀️

    I'm surprised there is a Cerveceria Chapultepec in the centro historico. maybe you dont realize that its a chain restaurant because it was in an historic building? anyways, they have an interesting menu format where all items are the same price and you can try many things kind of like tapas and its a decent and cheap place to eat. I think the safety advisories are not so much for the historic center as they are for travelling on the surrounding roads and highways. there was just something in the news here in the last couple weeks about some kind of terrorist act in a nearby small town. of course all city centers are heavily guarded by police and military in Mexico so yes you will tend to be safe there. in any case I'm travelling there for the first time in a couple more weeks for a 3 day long weekend...

    The danger is NOT so much where you are (in the state capital of Guanajuato CITY.) The U.S. travel advisory refers more to the cities of Celaya & Irapuato in the STATE of Guanajuato, where cartel violence is mainly between the feuding cartels themselves. I think even Mexico's 5th largest city of Leon (also in the state of Guanajuato) is safer than Celaya & Irapuato, but don't quote me on that.

    Hello, Glad you enjoyed this beautiful city I call home, however, please check our facts as you stated that Guanajuato was one of the Cities that the US and Canada advised Nnot to travel to. However, it is the state in general and sure there are parts of GTTO that have experienced some crime. And just like anywhere else one would be advised to be sensible and pay attention, however nothing happening here! I finally got over my PTSD of gunshots after the past few years in Portland where I lived for 15 yr before moving here last year. Sure, lots of fireworks, but not the level of danger I felt in the US!

    I get so very tired of the US State department issuing travel advisories for other country’s when there should be warnings about visiting the US. The US is ranked just above Brazil on the safe country list. I live in Montana and there are towns here that i wouldn’t feel safe visiting. The people of Mexico are some of the warmest, most welcoming, genuinely kind people. As with so many other countries it’s the leadership or financial pressures of the west that cause issues with violence.

    The warning in Canada is for some cities in Guanajuato STATE and not for the city. I am a woman and I spent over a month in Guanajuato and felt very safe there. On the other hand, I don't drink alcohol so I didn't go to bars and I didn't come home in the early hours of the morning. But I felt comfortable to walk the streets late at night. When we are in an unfamiliar place, we have to use our common sense. Visiting the tunnels at night, I didn't dare and I think it's better to visit them during the day. At Plaza de la Paz I crossed a guy who was hiding many different wallets in his hands, walking very quickly. Probably a pick pocket. I think they take advantage of the crowds when there are mariachi tours in the alleys at night. But otherwise, it is a quiet town and deserves to be known.

    Mexico, Central America, South America are perfectly safe. As long as you do common sense things like like carry a fake wallet to give to the person when you get robbed, Use a separate phone without any of your actual information on it so they cannot get information off of it when you get kidnapped, and don't leave your drink out of your site so you don't get drugged and robbed. All of these things have been mentioned by people on RUclips who have traveled there. I think I will stick to SE Asia.

    The Conservative Government of Guanajuato allows Crime Cartels to operate in this rich Mexican State but not in the Tourist Areas, such as San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato City, they are not allowed to disrupt tourism with their deeds. In other words, if you are a tourist and you are in a 'safe-haven' city, then you're pretty much protected and safe. Feel free to walk around in this gorgeous Mexican city and enjoy the great attractions it has to offer. For a good reason, Guanajuato is one of UNESCO's most popular Cultural Heritage Sites. Cheers
