AboutLinda Leonard Expertise My husband and I have travelled to mainland
Mexico for approx. 10 years, never staying in resorts, but rather seeking
out economic, clean, safe, non-touristy little accomodations. Now that we
have retired, we are spending the winters RVing in Mexico along the
coastlines. We love the people, the climate and the culture and are
working hard at our Spanish.
Question Hi. Four of us are thinking of driving to Puebla. One of us has traveled there many times since she is from Puebla. I am hesitant due to the violence. My husband is not sure about safety especially with four women. What are your thoughts?
Answer I think that unless you are involved with the drug trade, you would not even notice any "violence" any more than you see it wherever you live since the "drug war" is going on in almost every country right now. The route you would take is just like interstates- I don't understand your concern. We have travelled extensively in Mexico over the last 6 years (by RV & vehicle) and feel safer there than we do in Canada or the US. Enjoy your trip.
