Travel Advisory

Travel Advisory to Mexico (Stay in the U.S.). Ciudad Juarez, Mexico is commonly referred to as the sister city to El Paso. Though the violence in Juarez is significant, it has not spilled over into El Paso. In November of 2010 El Paso was rated as the #1 safest city in the U.S., despite the Juarez violence. You can read about the ratings here, http://www.kvia.com/news/25870470/detail.html . The following is an excerpt taken from The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs concerning travel outside of the U.S., particularly to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

“Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua: The situation in the state of Chihuahua, specifically Ciudad Juarez, is of special concern. Ciudad Juarez has the highest murder rate in Mexico. Mexican authorities report that more than 3,100 people were killed in Ciudad Juarez in 2010. Three persons associated with the Consulate General were murdered in March, 2010. You should defer non-essential travel to Ciudad Juarez and to the Guadalupe Bravo area southeast of Ciudad Juarez. U.S. citizens should also defer non-essential travel to the northwest quarter of the state of Chihuahua. From the United States, these areas are often reached through the Columbus, NM, and Fabens and Fort Hancock, TX, ports-of-entry. In both areas, U.S. citizens have been victims of narcotics-related violence. There have been incidents of narcotics-related violence in the vicinity of the Copper Canyon in Chihuahua. “
