Cancún is overall safe during the day, if you stay in downtown and don't go outside of the main center of the city. For example: Avenida nader, bonampak, near las americas mall or market 28 are safe during daylight but don't go to the areas where we call them la ciento (100,120) or even two hundred might be more dangerous. Even though it's mostly safe don't get distracted and always be ok the lookout for sketchy people or situations and even if you're on these safe areas, beware. Most important be more careful walking in the dark as not all the areas have good lighting at night. The hotel zone is safer than downtown but I still don't trust it 100%

It was a good experience, and care should be taken with the places where you are. The food is delicious, but they always charge foreigners exorbitant prices, which was a downside. Sometimes, it's not very safe to go out at night and alone.

We went to tulum, island mujeres, Xoximilco and xcaret. It was all fun but for us that we come from Colombia, it was kind of expensive because the prices were as is you were in the US. Other than that, the experience was very good, the people were nice and the places beautiful

Un placer! Soy Pia. Nacida en argentina, pero ciudadana del mundo. Vivo en México, en el Caribe exactamente. Aunque dejé mi vida allí por tres meses va aventurarme en europa. Me encanta en arte en todas sus formas. Soy vegetariana y también me gusta cocinar. Descubrí esta App con otra amiga viajera y la verdad que me da mucha más seguridad que seamos solo mujeres. Aún no tengo casa propia en México pero cuando llegue y me acomode podré recibirlas con amor también 🙏♥️
