|MEXICO :  Capital: MEXICO CITY  - NO PHASE | |

|Crime in Mexico continues at high levels, and is often violent; it’s recommendable to all visitors, to take basic precautions. All persons visiting | |

|Mexico City should only use taxis from the authorized taxi stands (“taxi de sitio”) at the airport and throughout the city, or authorized hotel taxis.| |

|Do NOT take taxis in the streets, there is high rate of express kidnappings in taxis. At the airport, travellers must only use the authorized taxis | |

|(white and yellow taxis with an airplane logo on its sides); the ticket booths are located in the airport terminal before travelers clear customs and | |

|in the airport lobby. Due to the high incidents of robberies and kidnappings in front of ATM machines, it is highly advisable to use only ATM machines| |

|in commercial centers or hotels. Travel outside cities after dark not recommended, if necessary use highways with toll (“cuota”). Public security | |

|forces are not exempt from corruption. Telecommunications systems work quite well within the big cities. Cellular phone coverage outside the cities is| |

|limited. Please note that the Regional FSCO, Mr. Luis Castro, is based in Guatemala City, Guatemala. | |

|Prepare your field trips well and inform your agency/fund/program about your detailed travel plans. Especially for trips to Chiapas, it is recommended| |

|travellers contact the Local Field Security Coordination Assistant for an update on the security situation prior to their departure. | |
