Is Durango safe for solo female travelers?

Durango has a mixed safety record. While locals are generally friendly and welcoming to tourists, there still exist instances of crime, particularly petty theft and pickpocketing. It is recommended for solo female travelers to take habitual safety precautions such as avoiding low-lit and isolated areas, not flashing valuable items, and staying in well-populated areas, especially at night. Finding reputable accommodation and transport, as well as staying aware of your surroundings, are key aspects to remain safe.

About me

Hello! My name is Bella. I recently moved to Mexico from the US. I speak English, Spanish, some French and Mandarin Chinese, and also fluent in ASL. My family has very strong ties/roots to Durango and I love sharing this beautiful place with people. It’s a hidden gem so shhhh (: I am not currently, but will soon also be open to hosting in my new place. I have car access for further travels but really this place runs so well with taxi service and it’s very affordable, so I’d rather show you how to do that on your own for some autonomy and confidence. I love music, museums, literature, all kinds of art, and learning new things from different cultures. I would love to meet you and know what you’re about.
