Two travelers, Martha Taults of Barcelona, Spain, and Matias Mazzeti of Italy, were hacked to death last week by machete-wielding attackers and left near a road outside of Tulum, according to a Reuters report. Mexican police are looking for clues. They say violent crime is rare in the area, even among the luxury resorts in Cancun, 80 miles up the coast.
