Wise To Avoid State Of Michoacan Temporarily
My son-in-law is level headed and intelligent (thank goodness). He reports...
The entire state is in an uproar over cartel arrests and subsequent cartel roadblocks and violence.
The danger to visitors is not great, but disruption of infrastructure and frequent (and very slow "Puestos de Controles") highway checkpoints make driving or riding a bus a PITA.
Farms in Uruapan are refusing to ship produce and fruit.
Of course this is temporary. But it's always wise to check beforehand before entering Michoacán.
I myself, have not read or heard of reports involving RVers in any criminal activity except for pesky petty theft.
