Safe route: a guide for traveling in Mexico

The number of people willing to visit Mexico is growing every year. People want to discover the advantages of Mexico as a country where they can combine entertainment, relaxation and exploration at the same time.

This country offers a great beach vacation, exploration of the ruins of ancient civilizations, and familiarity with the original culture. What tourists should know to get acquainted with this culture safely, NewsBytes told.

Call only Uber or Cabify

Unregistered drivers can not only mislead but also commit crimes. That is why it is better to choose official services that check and control the work of their employees.

Withdraw cash only from ATMs placed inside authorized banks

Doubtful ATMs that can be found on the streets of Mexico can swallow your card, putting your financial information at risk. Only use cash withdrawn from secure ATMs or opt for contactless payments.

Check your bills

In catering establishments, restaurants and cafes, tourists can also be deceived by adding additional costs to the check. For example, it may be products that you did not order or a menu with different prices that do not correspond to reality.

Don't pay attention to hot deals

This type of fraud is quite common in Mexico. You may be offered a "unique offer" that you will have to pay for later.

Avoid overly friendly locals

In public places and clubs, foreigners may be treated too kindly by offering to order food or a cocktail. However, tourists will still have to pay the bill.
