Ultra-rich Americans were forced to flee by boat when one of Mexico’s top tourist destinations turned into a cartel hellscape following the killing of a murderous drug kingpin.
Wealthy vacationers escaped Puerto Vallarta via the ocean when its airport shut down and narco-terrorists set up roadblocks across the state of Jalisco this week.
An insider told The California Post that people were hiring well-armed mercenaries or security teams to smuggle them to the port, where they chartered vessels up to Cabos before flying back to the US.
Mexico descended into a war zone when special forces killed cartel boss Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes in an early morning raid Sunday.
The bustling tourist hotspot of Puerto Vallarta became the epicenter of the violence, with cars burned in the streets and visitors locked down in their hotels.
A source with deep knowledge of security personnel and contractors operating in the country revealed it is a booming business there and was spurred into action this week.

I am by no means anti-rich, just that these people are typically libs and it is their horrible views and desires that have led to so much destruction, then they go vacation away in secluded, well protected spots.
Really hard to find a care to give here.
It’s certainly not the old Puerto Vallarta I once knew and loved!
I guess there’s more money in drug running than in Tourism, Huh?
Too bad their current President is in the pocket of the Cartels. What’s the over/under on her personal survival?
What a mess.
Whether it is food, entertainment, beach, spa or landscape, there is nothing in Mexico that you can’t get better, safer, and cleaner in New Mexico, Texas or California, just costing a little more. Except, of course, for Juan’s underage sister and the alcohol and drugs they will serve your underage daughter. .
I don’t care about them. The Mexicans are all now living in America after complaining about what a dump with an evil government Mexico was. Everyone in Mexico is poor and lives in mud huts according to the demonRATS and they need ASSylum in America with the evil white supremacist gringos.
Open patios and sliding doors don't offer much cover from gun fire.
Wait, what?
“An insider told The California Post that people were hiring well-armed mercenaries or security teams to smuggle them to the port, where they chartered vessels up to Cabos before flying back to the US.”
That’s a great idea. Hire armed mercs to put you in small boats going to Cabo. It’s not like F-18s are out looking for just that very thing for a target or anything.
More often than you’d think, rich people are blithering idiots in everything except what got them their money.
Beyond that, a speedboat headed north along the Mexican coast, or trusting hired gunmen makes perfect sense to them.
Hope PV isn’t going the route of Acapulco. The 60s were better in every way.
What’s so terrifying about getting on a boat?
Whether it is food, entertainment, beach, spa or landscape, there is nothing in Mexico that you can’t get better, safer, and cleaner in New Mexico, Texas or California,
NM has plenty of white sand beaches. Just no ocean.
Good to see you, hope all is well.
To me, the key takeaway from the article was this sentence:
“The cartels are not just the guys on back of trucks, they’re also in the police and the military working directly for them.”
There’s no way the Mexican govt can win in a fight like that.
It appears that the bottom line is about enslaving people everywhere while protecting their elite masters. Turn to God and serve Him.
WHY, would anyone with money go to such a low rent place as mesico? There are so many other much better and safer places someone with money can go.
All is well. Here for some training and heading home shortly.
Mostly liberals, or worse, Canadians.
No sympathy. Yah made yer bed when you chose to give money to an obvious narco state. Deal with it.
I’m not uber rich but that is what I would have done.
Its not hard to find someone in Mexico with a boat willing to make quick cash.
If you wnt the beach, its Texas. If you want the food its New Mexico, if you want the spa its CA.
