Thanks in advance!
If I were looking for places to visit in Mexico, Mazatlan wouldn't be on my list ... at the present time. The safety risks are too high for me. I'm an independent traveler though and stay away from gated, all-inclusive types of places which may offer better conditions for persons liking that type of travel.
