* Concerns about Safety while
Traveling in Mexico
Over the past few months we have had inquiries concerning personal safety on our trips to Mexico. I, our guides and all the participants of last season’s trip can attest to the fact that everything was fine. We are constantly monitoring safety issues thru contacts with our American friends and vendors in the areas to which we travel.
Be assured we would not send anyone to any area where there was a question of their safety. Our American friends living in the areas we travel to in Mexico are happy to speak with anyone who may have concerns.
For further information, please contact us at info@naturetreks.net or call 781-789-8127
