>>213176038 (OP)I've been to worse in LatAm. I've been to hoods in Juarez, Rio, Rosario, Medellin, Salvador, Guayaquil, etc.
The ONLY time I've ever been "mugged" was when I was just off Paulista Avenue near the art museum in SP and a dude on a bike ripped the phone out of my hand. Luckily it fell to the floor and he just rode on so I picked it up and it wasn't stolen. But yeah the only time I've been robbed/mugged in LatAm was in a nice part of Sao Paulo. And I went into Cracolandia multiple times just to take it in and was never robbed.
