(ZEROHEDGE) – In April, readers may recall, we outlined the high-end resort town of Tulum, Mexico, popular with celebrities, Instagram influencers, and millennials, descending into a chaotic hellhole as cartels waged war against each other to control the drug trade. Since then, the violence has spiraled out of control as multiple tourists were killed and several injured during a cartel gunfight.
Instagram influencers are in the business of selling the best of what Tulum has to offer and are hiding a troubling secret that the popular destinations just south of Cancun have seen a spat of cartel-related shootouts.
The latest shootout killed two female foreign tourists and injured three others last Thursday at a popular restaurant in downtown Tulum, a few miles from the beach. Of the two women who were killed, one was from Germany and the other India.
