At Let’s Do Mexico, we understand that safety is a top priority when planning your dream vacation. Recently, the U.S. Department of State issued a Level 2 Travel Advisory for parts of Baja California Sur, including Los Cabos and La Paz. We want to take a moment to address what this advisory means — and why Los Cabos remains a welcoming, beautiful, and vibrant destination for travelers.
What is a Level 2 Advisory?
A Level 2 advisory simply encourages travelers to “exercise increased caution.” This is the same advisory level issued for many popular international destinations, such as France, Italy, the UK, and Mexico’s own Riviera Maya region. It does not suggest that travelers avoid these areas — only that, like in any city around the world, being aware of your surroundings and making smart choices is advised.
What’s Happening in Los Cabos and La Paz?
The advisory stems from isolated incidents that have occurred mainly outside of tourist areas and among local groups. The vast majority of visitors to Los Cabos experience safe, peaceful, and unforgettable vacations. Local authorities and tourism officials have also made significant investments to ensure that tourist zones like San José del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas, and La Paz maintain high standards of safety, including an increased security presence in popular areas.
At Las Olas Condos, where our properties are located, we continue to see guests enjoying their vacations without issues. Our beachfront location is in the heart of the tranquil Costa Azul area — known more for its surf breaks and beach walks than for any hustle and bustle.
Tips for a Safe, Relaxing Trip
Just as you would when traveling to New York, Paris, or Rome, we recommend a few simple common-sense measures to enhance your experience:
- Stick to well-traveled areas, especially at night.
- Be mindful of your belongings and avoid displaying valuables openly.
- Use reputable transportation services (we’re happy to recommend trusted options!).
- Stay informed, but don’t let fear overshadow your excitement.
Our team at Let’s Do Mexico is also available before and during your stay to answer any questions, help coordinate safe activities, and make sure you feel comfortable from the moment you book to the moment you leave.
Why We Still Say
¡Vamos a México!
Los Cabos is more than just a vacation spot — it’s a place where sunrise surfs, warm smiles, and endless ocean views create memories that last a lifetime.
We’ve personally fallen in love with this stretch of Baja, and every day we watch our guests do the same.
The charm of San José del Cabo, the thriving food scene, the art walks, the world-class beaches — these experiences are still here, waiting for you.
We invite you to stay at our carefully managed Las Olas Condos, where comfort, community, and stunning beachfront access come standard.
Let’s Do Mexico — and let’s do it safely, joyfully, and without fear.
