300 murders per year. The beautiful city by the sea was named one of the most dangerous in the world

Known for its breathtaking beaches, world-class resorts, and vibrant nightlife, Los Cabos is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Mexico. However, the postcard-perfect views hide a disturbing reality: Los Cabos has one of the highest crime rates in the world, with approximately 300 murders every year.

This was reported by Express. The city has long been known for its stunning coastline, offering visitors a variety of activities: from whale watching to deep-sea fishing and snorkeling.

However, while the sandy shores and vibrant nightlife make Los Cabos a top vacation destination, the region's murder rate suggests otherwise. With 111.3 deaths per 100 thousand people, it is one of the most dangerous cities in the world.

Much of the violence is related to crime and drugs, as well as intergroup conflicts, which have increased in intensity in recent years.

Despite the high crime rate, millions of tourists continue to visit the resort every year. The region's tourism industry has taken significant steps to ensure visitor safety by creating a dedicated tourist police force, beefing up security at major recreation centers, and implementing surveillance in areas with high tourist traffic. These efforts have largely kept violence away from the areas most frequented by travelers, allowing them to enjoy relatively safe vacations.

Foreigners are attracted to Los Cabos for its natural beauty, adventure, and fine dining. The city's beaches are among the best in Mexico, some of which have received the Blue Flag for environmental compliance and cleanliness.

The city also offers authentic Mexican cuisine and fresh seafood that attracts food lovers from all over the world. Although Los Cabos continues to be a popular tourist destination, local authorities are aware of the need to address the underlying issues that cause high crime rates.
