MEXICO : Capital: MEXICO CITY - NO PHASE
Crime in Mexico continues at high levels, and is often violent; it’s recommendable to all visitors, to take basic precautions. All persons visiting Mexico City should only use taxis from the authorized taxi stands (“taxi de sitio”) at the airport and throughout the city, or authorized hotel taxis. Do NOT take taxis in the streets, there is high rate of express kidnappings in taxis. At the airport, travellers must only use the authorized taxis (white and yellow taxis with an airplane logo on its sides); the ticket booths are located in the airport terminal before travelers clear customs and in the airport lobby. Due to the high incidents of robberies and kidnappings in front of ATM machines, it is highly advisable to use only ATM machines in commercial centers or hotels. Travel outside cities after dark not recommended, if necessary use highways with toll (“cuota”). Public security forces are not exempt from corruption. Telecommunications systems work quite well within the big cities. Cellular phone coverage outside the cities is limited. Please note that the Regional FSCO, Mr. Luis Castro, is based in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
Prepare your field trips well and inform your agency/fund/program about your detailed travel plans. Especially for trips to Chiapas, it is recommended travellers contact the Local Field Security Coordination Assistant for an update on the security situation prior to their departure.
