Has anyone been to Central Mexico recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.
