Stop participating in animal tourism. It needs to end

I did my research. The camels were rescues from the circus. Mexico passed a law in 2015 I think banning animals from the circus. So many animals were abondoned at this time. And the dolphins were born in captivity.
We can all make our own informed choices.

Lots of travel advisories against going to Mexico right now. Check the government website.

Good grief. There are more issues with Surrey and Abbotsford these days. The states wth warnings do not even include Baja Cal Sur where Cabo is and also does not include Jalisco where Puerto Vallarta, Nariyit Sayulita. People always freak out when the drug war action heats up. It’s in other states and not in tourism areas which are heavily policed anyway.

Read the travel.gc.ca website. It's more than drug war.
"Exercise a high degree of caution in Mexico due to high levels of criminal activity, as well as demonstrations, protests and occasional illegal roadblocks throughout the country." If you check the second tab, theft, assault, spiked food and drinks and kidnapping. The government is warning everyone to use caution.
Don't think you are safe in Cabo or PV, you aren't!

Linda we live here in San Jose del Cabo (Los Cabos) 6 months a year. Our little town is totally safe, the people are friendly, the weather is perfect and it is completely safe unless you are out at 4:00 am off in a barrio trying to buy drugs while drunk. Like any place (including Vancouver, Surrey or Abbotsford) exercise the usual travel precautions, stay away from the drug trade and you will be just fine!

I stayed in San Jose del Cabo last year and there is an art walk (I think every Wednesday night) there. My 8 year old daughter really enjoyed it too. They had fire dancers performing too.

Was that at the mall on the hotel strip? I think I read that and am looking forward to it.

No it's in the town square area. About a 15/20 minute walk from the hotel zone
