Why is it safe?

Because even the cartels know that you fuck with tourism, you got a problem, right?

So it's a no-go zone for the most part.

Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, the Mexican Riviera, all that stuff.

It's a no-go zone for violent activity until...

They killed Cervantes.

Cervantes was the head of the Sinaloa cartel after they arrested Chapo Guzman.

And then Chapo's son went down also about a year and a half ago.

So Cervantes, who had been in the in the gang for or the cartel for a long time, became the head of the organization.

And then he brought together a couple of the smaller organizations under him.

So he really had a vast empire there.

of all kind of craziness going on, from gambling to meth to heroin to cocaine to prostitution to all this other stuff.

And in a very surprise attack, they found him in a cabin in the woods with his mistress.

That's right.

And they shot him and they mortally wounded him on a helicopter ride back to the hospital.

He died along with his two personal security guards.

This upset the cartel so much that, and I'm sure you've seen this on TV, that they went around some of the tourist hotspots

Setting buses, cars.

A lot of vehicle fires, gas stations, pharmacies.

They set them on fire.
