How about a trip to Northern Mexico
A Brief Summary
Surf through Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime or any large-scale, online video platform and you’ll find multiple documentaries, films and series about the perils of the drugs trade in northern Mexico. From gang warfare and rampant violence in some regions, to political corruption and widespread fraud and bribery at the highest levels in others, this is not regarded as a particularly “safe” destination for tourists to be ambling about in. This is a real shame, because it’s a beautiful part of the world, akin to the southwestern Desert US in many areas, with the Sierra Madre mountains near to the Gulf of California in the west. Natural wonders and landmarks along with extensive history, culture, great food and friendly locals (those not involved in the drugs trade!) make March in this part of central America a definite must-do… when circumstances and safety levels improve.
