Due to a variety of security incidents in various parts of the consular district, the U.S. Consulate General in Guadalajara urges U.S. citizen residents and visitors to remain vigilant and makes the following security recommendations:
1. Avoid all unnecessary travel to Colotlan, Jalisco near the Zacatecas border because of an increasingly volatile security situation, including roadblocks during daylight hours by individuals posing as police and/or military. The Consulate General has previously advised against unnecessary travel to Yahualica, Jalisco.
2. Use extreme caution when traveling near the borders between Jalisco and the states of Zacatecas and Michoacán.
3. Driving between cities should be undertaken only during daylight hours. Extra caution should be exercised on the road between Guadalajara and Mazamitla, Jalisco, where an increasing number of security incidents have been reported.
4. Avoid all unnecessary travel to the city of Tepic, Nayarit. Exercise extreme caution on the non-toll portion of the Route 15 bypass around Tepic.
The Consulate General emphasizes that there are currently no specific security advisories for the Guadalajara metropolitan area, including the Lake Chapala/Ajijic area, nor for the coastal resort areas of Puerto Vallarta/Riveria Nayarit and Manzanillo, Colima and their surroundings.
The Consulate General strongly encourages U.S. residents and travelers to Mexico to refer to the personal safety practices contained in the Travel Warning for Mexico dated September 10, 2010. Security updates are also available on the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City's website at
