The American government is issuing a travel warning for Playa del Carmen after an explosion rocked the area.
The city, which is about an hour south of Cancun, was shaken to its core after a bomb went off last month on a passenger ferry boat. Two dozen people were injured, including five Americans.
Less than two weeks later, undetonated bombs were found on another ferry owned by the same company.
The security alert bans all U.S. government employees from visiting the town, while tourists are urged to use "increased caution."
The timing couldn't be worse as spring break festivities kick off — with more than 100,000 Americans flocking to Mexican beaches in the coming weeks.
Over the past year, there has been a dramatic increase in violence around Playa del Carmen.
