Hi everyone!
As you may already noticed by watching or reading news, the actual security situation in Mexico is quite delicate. That means, we strongly recommend you not travelling alone and by rental car through the country. However, if you consider travelling by your own (that is not via a standard program provided by a travel agency), then you should at least travel by tour buses offered by serious travel providers.
For our German guests, the following website may be useful:

However, there are still some states that are relatively safe for travelling, for instance Oaxaca and the Yucatan peninsula. In Chiapas a visit of the city San Cristobal de las Casas is considered to be safe as well. Besides, a standard package holiday to Cancun and surroundings is of course uncritical.
