There have been some unsettling reports in Mexico these past 24 hours. We're monitoring the situation very closely and always do our best to gather unbiased and truthful information through credible news sources, local and US government updates and our partners who live and work there. We're also in contact with all of our current in-destination clients to give them timely updates.
I believe the post below is an accurate picture of the Cancun/Riviera Maya/Playa Mujeres regions based on the news conferences, local reports and in-destination client feedback I've received. The situation will continue to evolve and it's good to stay informed, but... PLEASE, don't believe everything you see! There are definitely some AI images and very uninformed social media commentaries spreading like wildfire.
Traveling with us soon and have questions? Don't hesitate to reach out!
🌟 A NOTE TO OUR LIVING DREAMS MEXICO FAMILY
With so much noise on social media right now, we felt it was important to step up and share what we actually know — as a team that lives and works here in the Riviera Maya every single day.
――――――――――――――――――――
📍 SO WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING?
――――――――――――――――――――
Some isolated incidents took place in parts of Mexico following a federal law enforcement operation in Jalisco — a state more than 2,000 km from the Riviera Maya. A ripple effect reached Quintana Roo in the form of a small number of localized disturbances.
Here is what Governor Mara Lezama has officially confirmed:
✈️ All four international airports are open and running normally. Zero flight cancellations. Any delays you may hear about are due to U.S. weather — nothing more.
🏨 The Cancún Hotel Zone is open. The rumors claiming otherwise are completely false.
🚌 The Maya Train, ADO buses, and all tourism services are operating without interruption.
👮 Over 10,000 security personnel from the Army, National Guard, Navy, and local forces are deployed across the state.
✅ No civilian injuries have been reported.
🔎 What was confirmed: a handful of vehicle fires in scattered locations and minor property damage — none in tourist areas or near hotels. Nine people have been arrested.
⚠️ The viral "burning airplane" image? Confirmed AI-generated. Please don’t share it.
――――――――――――――――――――
🌴 THE RIVIERA MAYA REMAINS OPEN AND WELCOMING
――――――――――――――――――――
Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum — open, beautiful, and operating normally.
Visitors to this region have not been the focus of these events. The tourism corridor continues to be what it has always been: a place people come to unwind, explore, and make memories.
We share this not just as a travel company, but as people who call this place home.
