It says that &#8220;The Mexican government expects more than 5.5 million visitors&#8221; during World Cup time.  That&#8217;s a lot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the bottom of that page it says <a href=\"https:\/\/mx.usembassy.gov\/\">U.S. Embassy &amp; Consulates in Mexico<\/a> and if you click that you go to a page which actually has links to information pages about the U.S. embassy in Mexico City and the 9 U.S. consulates on Mexican soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, back to the Mexico advisory page <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel\/travel-advisories\/mexico.html\">here<\/a>.  It has general information and also breaks Mexico down into four categories: <br>Level: 4 &#8211; Do not travel (six states)<br>Level: 3 &#8211; Reconsider travel   (six states)<br>Level: 2 &#8211; Exercise increased caution  (16 states and Mexico City)<br>Level: 1 &#8211; Exercise normal precautions (2 states) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s also a color-coded map that accompanies it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are planning to travel in Mexico, or even considering it, I recommend you look over the State Department&#8217;s material. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 29th, 2026, just in time for the World Cup, the U.S. State Department published its updated travel advisory for Mexico.
