Ask Captain Canuck - "Is it safe yet?
Global Affairs Canada advises against non-essential travel to the western states of Guerrero including Acapulco but
excluding the cities of Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo and Taxco.

I took the bus from Taxco to Zihua and survived. I was told not to leave the bus station in Chilpancingo and not even talk to anyone. Sat at the station for 2 1/2 hours before I found out why my bus connection was delayed. People seemed nice but I guess the poppy industry folk don't take the bus.
