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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Did you use freelancers or find girls at the hotel?

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
