In other words, so long as you're not near the US-mexico border you should be OK, but, you "should exercise a high degree of caution due to a deteriorating security situation in many parts of the country" anyway.

The same way i would avoid the east L.A. or Harlem in New York. etc. etc. etc. I wouldn't go to North Central here in Regina but I wouldn't tell people to stay clear of Canada. . I think the biggest problem is the nature of the violence, very violent but mostly against their own. Ya the army needs to "stomp" out the drug lords. The police are toothless and victims themselves alot of the time.

PV is very safe and a much different atmosphere than Mazatlan. PV is way nicer; better scenery(from beaches to mountain jungles), nice people, good hospitals, good restaurants, good diving, etc, etc. It's a sweet place to go to any time of year, in fact I like to go in the summer as well. The diving is also the best in the summer with the water being around 86 degrees F.

I agree when we were there we used the "local" transit bus to and from the resort to downtown, that was an experience... all good. walked the streets nights and days. Even got on the wrong bus at night that took us through the local residential areas, was a bit un-nerving but never felt threatened.
