When people are considering what we (Cielito Lindo and Rancho Los Labradores) have to offer, each person has their unique concerns. But the question that comes up more frequently is, “Is Mexico actually safe, we here so much in the news?” The short answer is yes, but let’s go a little further with that.
Despite the media headlines painting Mexico as a place of crime and drug violence in the past few years, travelers shouldn’t allow that to stop them from experiencing one of the most colorful and amazing cultures in the world, and the cities have plenty of that.
Common Sense
Using your common sense, being aware of your surroundings, keeping your valuables out of sight, and taking a few precautions while exploring the cities means your Mexican trip will be a safe and fun one. This is the same advice anyone should heed when traveling in Europe or any big city in the US.
In recent times, a quarter of all homicides in Mexico occurred in just five cities: Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez, Cancún, Acapulco, and Culiacán. And while homicide rates have gone up recently, it is almost exclusively gang violence primarily directed at other gangs. For a sense of scale, more Americans are murdered in Oakland, California, than in all of Mexico, year over year.
There are many Web reports/articles that you can reference while conducting your own research.

Putting this into context for Cielito Lindo and the surrounding Rancho Los Labradores, San Miguel de Allende is listed by resources such as SmarterTraveler.com as one of the safest places in Mexico for Americans.
Situated 15 minutes north of San Miguel de Allende, this gated community offers the best of both worlds. This is a wonderful island of peace, quiet and safety, yet it is just a shuttle or taxi ride away for the amazing city of San Miguel de Allende. What a great combination; Travel + Leisure magazine readers chose San Miguel de Allende as their favorite city in the world, yet you get to have lived your daily life in a beautiful and secure island of tranquility
