Mexican cartel violence leaves Mayan ruins inaccessible to tourists
Several ancient Mayan ruins in Mexico have become inaccessible due to escalating cartel violence, dealing a significant blow to tourism in the southern state of the country.
The Mexican government acknowledged that at least two popular Mayan sites, Yaxchilán and Tonina, are no longer reachable by tourists.
Tour guides in the state of Chiapas revealed to the Associated Press that additional ruins, supposedly open according to the government, can only be accessed by passing through checkpoints controlled by criminal gangs.
Over the past year, drug cartel violence in Chiapas has surged, adversely affecting tourism, a crucial source of economic opportunity for locals in the Mexican state near the Guatemala border, the New York Post reported.
