About Safety

 

The Roca Blanca Spanish Language School is located in the safest and most secure area of Mexico, according to a recent visiting State Department official, well and easily patrolled, virtually free from the drug and other violence issues that are plaguing the border towns and Mexico's large cities.

With the same common sense precautions that you would take traveling anywhere, our coastal area is still the safe place to visit that it has been for many decades, safer than visiting many US cities.

US State Department travel warnings sometimes contain references to political demonstrations becoming violent. A violent demonstration did occur years ago, but was seven hours away in Oaxaca City.

It’s easy to forget just how big Mexico is, and how far our location is from the warning areas! In most cases your flight will arrive directly to Huatulco (HUX), or by means of the Mexico City airport to Puerto Escondido (PXM), these being our nearest international airports. There we meet you inside the airport and drive you here. You’re not within a thousand miles of a border town or hundreds of miles from a city with a warning. We also begin your Spanish course with student orientation, which includes safety tips to avoid any danger that might present itself. We live here and we raise our children here. You can trust our record of many years of safety for visitors and students.
