ViZIHtando Guerrero Bronco

Hmmm. We've been thinking of jumping in the car and heading down from Canada. Time to reconsider?

Tecpan and Coyuca are south of Zihuatanejo, so you wouldn’t be going there to get to Zihuatanejo anyway.

Agreed, but we'd have to run the guantlet through Sonora, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima and Michoacan - each of which has their own history of violence, past and present - before getting into Guerrero, which is now reportedly competing with Guanajuato for the distinction of being Mexico's most violent state.
I realize I'm talking myself into leaving the car at home. We've driven down 8 or 9 times previously, but the violence seems far more out of control now.
