I don't know the current political climate, but I've not heard it to be any worse that the rest of central or South America. It's not Bolivia, Paraguay, or Columbia, so there is less fear of being kidnapped or killed by some revolutionary group. Whenever I travel south of the US I am more cautious about where I go, and in whom I place my trust. I've heard so many stories of visitors being taken for a ride, so to speak, and then robbed. I think in this day and age, no matter where you might go, you need to be better aware of your surroundings.
If we cringe in our houses from the greater world and allow fear rule us, then evil wins. Be brave. But, be smart and brave.
