I must disagree with MW. When you are walking in downtown Oaxaca and a riot starts will you be immune to being hurt. Have you ever seen a riot? Have you seen the look of rage on the rioters faces? Do you remember what happened in Oaxaca a few years ago? Will I just show them my tourist visa or my Good Sam card and I will get a pass? Political riots are damn scary. Far more dangerous than cartel activity. Regardless of anyone's reassurances that all is good most tourists will just look elsewhere. There are hardly any RV'rs in Mexico the past few years and that amount is shrinking. However Canadians are flocking to Cabo, Cancun and a few other places BY AIRPLANE.
