Oaxaca, México 2023 Took this trip with my mom and best friend. We went for the Guelaguetza. It’s an indigenous cultural event that happens around the second week of July! We’ve also visited places like Monte Albán and Hierve el Agua and got to see how they make Mezcal.
Posted: April 20, 2025Experienced: July, 2023Yeah, I stayed in a luxury hotel and then we went to do activities that were common there so it was fun. We didn’t spend much because as I said the hotel had almost everything. Then the activities were just above like normal activities. Then I did feel safe because I was with my family, but They are really nice. Very good people. It was fun. I enjoyed my stay. I also got sick but it was because of the weather.

I traveled there for 2 weeks with my grandmother and I felt safe at all times (I was more scared of wild animals honestly). I absolutely adored every single Temple we visited and the natural cenotes left me speechless. The best was to visit a Temple the morning when it was not too hot then go to the nearest cenote to take a fresh swim. The hotels were cheap and had swimming pools, very nice decor. The people were lovely and welcoming. We traveled from city to city by bus it was fairly simple and inexpensive.

The only sour note on the trip was getting scammed at a gas station when paying 😒. The rep change a bill for another in a matter of seconds.. then we found out this was a very common thing an was all over the Google reviews on different gas stations. Everything else was delightful! From the food to the people and stay. Highly recommended this small town. It's quite central!
Posted: April 6, 2025Experienced: May, 2024We actually felt incredibly safe but we are quite sure that someone stole my mums phone that was a little bummer but we were drunk so it was a little our fault. Apart from that everybody was incredibly welcoming and we got invited to a party in another hotel by some fisher guy. The animals and the snorkeling there are AMAZING! And there’d are so few people…go and enjoy this hidden paradies!😍☀️

I traveled to Puerto Escondido and Oaxaca and it was a great experience as a solo female traveler. I felt safe in those two cities and I made really nice and friendly people. They are also offering nice activities.

Mexico is a great place to travel. I would say that it’s not as dangerous as other people make it seem as long as you are in a safe area like Roman Norte or Romas you can have so much fun and have a peaceful time while feeling safe, of course just being careful About the places you visit. it’s very inexpensive and the culture is just beautiful. I would recommend that 100%.
Posted: February 27, 2025I love Mexico so much. My favorite vacation by far. We stayed in an air bnb and it was so nice. The host was amazing. I loved the temperature the food and the culture. Everyone was so upbeat. I will admit this trip was a little costly but I think it was completely worth it.

I stayed for a month volunteering in ITH Amazing hostel, so I didn’t spend much money as I exchanged work for accomodation. I could rent surfboards for free and had breakfast included. The city is full of Americans and Canadians that is why is got expensive. You have to try fish tacos (specially from the street) and do the hikings: El Toro, Malpaso and Carricitos.

I was worried before going to Mexico for 3 months on my own, but because of the places I went I worried for nothing! I had decided I wanted to go for a slow paced, relaxed, chill kinda trip, so I only visited that whole yucatan/campeche/quintana roo area. Super touristy and safe! I enjoyed all the colours and music and guacamole and margaritas! I’m sure Mexico has waaaay more to offer if you’d go off the beaten path and be more adventurous, but I enjoyed the safety and beaches and snorkelling this way. I’d rather go explore the more remote areas in countries I feel safer in, and the countries with a more questionable reputation I’d rather stay safe and still enjoy what it has to offer in the more crowded areas:)

It’s a nice city to visiting around. People is friendly, public transport is easy, you have so many options to do. I don’t feel insecure when I walk alone, just be careful about some specific zones, or don’t do it too late.

The area is quite safe and considered one of the best for tourists in Mexico City. While there may be a few dimly lit spots around Parque España and Parque México at night, they generally pose no concern for traveler
