I have lived and traveled in Mexico for the last 3.5 years by sailboat, bus, hotel, hostel and staying with ex-pat friends.
It is an awesome place to go -- I believe you will truly enjoy it.
I wrote a blog post sharing our thoughts about the safety of traveling in Mexico just last week. Links for RVing info at the bottom:
Is Mexico Safe for Travelers?Ironically, one of the few places that we did not feel as safe as we'd have liked was Mazatlan.
The absolute highlights for us were Guanajuato, Huatulco and Palenque. If there is any way to include those 3 in your itinerary, you will have seen some of the very best Mexico has to offer.
