Chichén Itza is over a 2 hour drive from Tulum. Tourists very rarely get killed around Tulum anyway. There were two who got shot in crossfire at a restaurant in 2021, and as the article noted an American got caught in some crossfire in February. Compare that to the regular violence that we see in many major American cities thanks to our ubiquitous gun ownership. I doubt it’s statistically much more dangerous (if at all) for a tourist in Tulum than many tourist spots in the U.S. like Venice Beach.
