Another travel alert has been issued to caution travelers against using ferry services in Quintana Roo, this one by Canada.
The Canadian government followed the lead of the United States, which issued its own warning last week prohibiting government employees from using ferries operating between Cozumel and Playa del Carmen.
The warnings follow an explosion in Playa del Carmen February 21 aboard a passenger ferry operated by Barcos Caribe and the discovery last Thursday of explosive devices on another vessel operated by the same company.
On Friday, the government of Canada updated the Safety and Security section of its Mexico travel advisory and warned citizens to avoid using tourist ferry services in the region until further notice.
The advisory observed that “some cruise lines have canceled excursions using ferry services in Playa del Carmen.”
