Safety at night:Moderate
Puerto Lopez is generally peaceful with a friendly local population. However, like any other place, it's necessary to take precautions, especially while walking alone at night. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and purse snatching are common, particularly in areas where tourists congregate. Although infrastructure such as lighting and signage are improving, they can be inadequate in certain areas, making it harder to navigate in the dark. It's recommended to always take a cab at night, even for short distances, and avoid carrying valuables whenever possible.
