Photos: Spring break in Mexico already
Spring break is under way in Cancun, Mexico, with more to come. Despite recent violence in Acapulco, tourists are still traveling to Mexico. The last travel warning on Mexico from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs, was issued in November last year and no advisories were issued for Cancun. Here are this year’s spring breakers and a few photos from previous years. Cancun is the top destination for spring breakers, although there are other destinations in Mexico.
