6. Acapulco, Mexico
Known as one of the most idyllic vacation locations in the Americas, Acapulco – like much of Mexico – has fallen under the violent influence of ultra-wealthy and ruthlessly violent drug cartels. Due to its location, control of Acapulco has prompted the cartels to engage each other in violent confrontation which often goes on gruesome public display in the form of decapitated bodies and other atrocities.
