Whether it is to relax in one of the magnificent coastal resorts, to work or to return home, more than 150,000 people cross Mexican border every day. Mexico City is an easily accessible capital, an inevitable place during a visit to South America.

The name of the city often appears in the news because of the conflicts that take place along the border with the United States. A violent atmosphere is also felt in the capital itself: abductions, assaults and fights are just the daily routine. Women are strongly advised not to use night-time public transport due to frequent cases of violence.

If you intend to visit the ancient Mexico City, be attentive and prefer a guided grooup.

Jakarta is a wonderful place for tourists who prefer to relax in the tropics. The city offers a wide range of entertainment: from white beaches to adventurous excursions in a breathtaking landscape.

Local criminals are always ambushed, ready to steal jewelry or money. Kidnappings and muggings can be avoided by remaining in a group and not by going into secondary streets and roads.

Jakarta is also known for another danger on its territory — the so-called “Belt of Fire”, an area characterized by serious earthquakes. Everyone remembers the tsunami in 2004 that devastated numerous islands in Indonesia.
