IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT ADRESS THIS ISSUE. THE CURRENT DRUG RELATED VIOLENCE IN MEXICO AND THE SUBSEQUENT REPORTING IN THE PRESS HAS WITHOUT DOUBT INSTILLED A VERY NEGATIVE AND DAMAGING IMPRESSION OF THE WHOLE OF MEXICO.
THERE ARE AREAS ALONG THE BORDER AND IN VARIOUS STATES OF MEXICO WHERE WITHOUT DOUBT IT WOULD BE FOOLHARDY TO VENTURE. JUST AS ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.

HOWEVER THERE ARE VERY SAFE AREAS INCLUDING TODOS SANTOS AND THE WHOLE OF BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR. WE ARE OVER A 1,000 MILES FROM THE TROUBLED AREA OF TIJUANA, IN THE NORTH.

RECENTLY THE U.S.PRESS AND VARIOUS TRAVEL SITES HAVE STARTED TO LIST WHICH ARE THE SAFE AREAS TO VACATION IN MEXICO. TODOS SANTOS IS ON EVERY LIST.

I HAVE LIVED HERE AND RUN A BUSINESS FOR 7 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER FELT MY SAFETY WAS AT RISK.

LONELY PLANET Todos Santos is ranked number 3 on the list of the 8 safest places to visit in Mexico.
