Dulcinea's Insight
- It's important to check travel and safety advisories on the State Department's Web site before you go. While Mexico is generally a safe country to travel in, it's always better to err on the side of caution.
- In some ways, Mexico's culture, especially with respect to social interactions, differs greatly from that of the United States and other countries. Take the time to learn about the customs before you go so that you are not surprised about what you encounter and so that you don't offend any locals during your visit.
- Be sure to check Customs information before you go; new laws are going into effect in 2007 and 2008 regarding passports and Visas for all travelers.
- In Mexico, you are guilty until proven innocent. Avoid trouble with the law, and you'll have a wonderful stay.
