The stark warning was issued this week by the US State Department who urged Americans to avoid traveling to certain Mexican states where violent crime is rife.
"Exercise increased caution in Mexico due to crime and kidnapping. Some areas have increased risk," it read. "Homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery - is widespread.".
The map shows Colima, Guerrero, Michoacán, Sinaloa and Tamaulipas are states to be avoided by tourists, while the travel warning implemented new restrictions for US officials.
Criminal organizations are also lurking in Sinaloa state, where violent crime is commonplace - likewise in Tamaulipas, crime is rampant and dangerous.
Tourists were urged to "Reconsider travel" in 11 'Level 3' states, which included Chihuahua, Mexico, San Luis Potosi, Sonora and Zacatecas.
Although Mexico City is listed as a 'Level 2', it's surrounded by 'Level 3 states,' where violent crime is more likely to occur, the report states.
The full U.S. State Department travel advisory is available on their website.
