Are you going down as far as Gautelamala? Jalisco area is lovely too. The section in between Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta have some great spots too.

+1 Be careful when travelling to Mexico! Check the State Department for travel advisories when you head south of the border. Couple of my surfer friends got held up in Mexico and Costa Rico.

In Mexico, it is not uncommon for tourists to be kidnapped and held for ransom just because they ARE tourists, being vulnerable, easy marks for criminals. I don't want to friek you out but Takoyama's admonitions are relevant.

I don't know if you watch the news but there is a major f*ckin' battle taking place in Mexico right now between competing drug cartels. It is a blood bath. :sweat:

Indeed.

I share your concern, but I don't want to over exaggerate the situation either.

I agree with Takoyama, it pays to be diligent. Don't be an easy mark.

It's good to stay informed. Mexico City ain't Toronto.
