Avoid any ‘mexican frontier’ states, northern and southern borders.

BCS is the “other mexico” and the chances of getting in trouble between cabo and LaPaz is slim and none. (if you can stay out of Cabo Wabo)

What is Cabo Wabo, as I am going to Cabo in Oct?

BS.

I didn't dump 5 years of a paid timeshare because the tip of Cabo is safe. Directly the opposite.
Depends on whom you talk to. Up until 2001 I bought into the propaganda, mainly the English language "newspapers" that are circulated free.
Having made friends of residents there since 1994 each visit became worse in unreported crime, including murders, carjackings, muggings and simply Americans who "disappear." A constant stream of them.

The locals know of all of them, the English-language newspapers (and the naive who believe in them) are blisfully ignorant.

Being fluent in Spanish makes all the difference; I no longer go to Cabo and have no plans on returning there any time soon. I can't afford to stay at places with security walls and armed guards patrolling the grounds 24/7...
