Canceling your Mexico trip? You may be out of luck on refunds.

Travelers shaken by the recent events in Mexico might be considering canceling their upcoming spring break trips. Here's what to know.

With spring break right around the corner, travelers are weighing whether to skip their upcoming trips to Mexico following the recent civil unrest in the tourist hub Puerto Vallarta.

Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, also known as El Mencho, and who led the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, was killed during a military operation on Feb. 22. In the wake of his death, cartel members took to the streets to light cars on fire and ransack shops, prompting a shelter-in-place advisory issued by the U.S. State Department that has since been lifted.

Officials were quick to reassure people of their safety. Within days, residents, tourists and even Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo stressed that "things are calm" and "running as normal" in Mexico.

'They're freaking out.' Should travelers cancel their Cancun trips?

Shaken by what they saw in the media, travelers with plans to Mexico are considering canceling or postponing their trips, even to popular destinations that are far from where the incident took place, like Cancun and Mexico City.
