Immediately, three severed human heads were found in a Mexican resort town that used to be a favorite vacation spot for Hollywood stars and other rich people. Police attributed the gruesome discovery to a cartel crackdown and urged tourists to be careful, according to a report by the Daily Star last weekend. It is about Acapulco.
The heads were found in the districts of Bellavista and Laha. The authorities cordoned off the streets where the body parts were found and conducted several search operations. As a reminder, this city is considered one of the most dangerous places on the planet due to high crime and the activity of drug cartels (read details in the article “The three most dangerous cities in the world are named, where tourists are advised not to leave the hotel“).
It is believed that the city, which used to attract celebrities with its beaches, and the state of Guerrero are now under the control of several gangs.
As a result of the bloody incident, the governments of the United States and Great Britain recommended that their citizens refrain from traveling to this region unless there is an urgent need.
Background: Mexico City was very popular among the rich and famous tourists in the 1950s. Yes, it was visited by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, and his wife spent their honeymoon there in 1953. But now it is a dangerous zone for tourism. Many no longer believe that Acapulco will be able to attract tourists again, although it has all the data for this. First, the city is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, along which stretch sandy beaches. Acapulco is located in a large bay and is surrounded by the Southern Sierra Madre mountain range. Second, the vertical 40-meter cliff of La Quebrada can attract divers as a suitable diving point.
