Is Chihuahua good for solo travel?
Safety:Moderate
Chihuahua generally maintains a moderate level of safety for solo female travelers. Standard precautions, such as avoiding deserted areas at night, locking accommodation doors, and keeping belongings secure, should be taken. Local culture is welcoming, but like anywhere, it has areas that are less safe and events of random crime. It’s advised to stay informed about current situations, avoid displaying wealth and stay in well-populated areas.
Transport:Moderate
Chihuahua is moderately easy to navigate for a solo female traveler. Public transportation options are available, but can be somewhat challenging due to language barrier if you don't speak Spanish. The city is quite spread out, so walking to different spots might not always be feasible. However, most top touristic spots, restaurants, and hotels are concentrated in a few sections of the city, so it is relatively easy to get around that part. Taking necessary precautions at night is advised.
Things to do:Moderate
Chihuahua definitely has some notable attractions, from the scenic beauty of Copper Canyon, which is much larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon, to historic sites like the Quinta Gameros and the Museo Casa Chihuahua that offer insights into the region's history and culture. Adventure seekers can also enjoy activities like hiking and riding the famous El Chepe train. However, Chihuahua doesn't have the wide range of activities and entertainment offered by larger Mexican cities, limiting the total experiences for travelers.
Food:Above average
Chihuahua, offers a wealth of tantalizing food options that pride themselves on both local and international cuisines. The food scene is vibrant and diverse, ranging from delicious street food to fine dining experiences. The city is particularly known for its local specialties such as Menudo, a traditional soup, and mouth-watering steaks. Additionally, they heed the call of the vegetarians and vegans too; hence, it's not all about meat. The flavors are generally rich and savory, topped with a warm Mexican hospitality. However, local eateries might lean too much on traditional options, which might be a slight setback for the more adventurous foodie.
Budget:Moderate
Chihuahua offers an adequate balance between cost and experience for travelers on a budget. While some experiences may seem pricier, like the well-known Copper Canyon train journey, accommodation and food can be quite affordable if you choose local markets and less-touristy options. However, the overall cost can quickly rise, especially if you wish to experience various attractions or enjoy local cuisines in upscale places. Therefore, planning and allocating your budget wisely is essential.
