Bodies burnt in the streets, blood splatters against the walls and dangerous drug cartels at war: Visit Juarez Valley and you may not live to tell the tale. It’s the Mexican ghost town deemed so dangerous, even police don’t dare enter.

Run by criminal drug cartels, only 5,000 of the original 60,000 inhabitants have dared stay. The rest fled in fear of their lives or were brutally killed.

Running along the Rio Grande and just a stones throw from the 18-foot fence of the US border, the ghost town sees more violence and murder than anywhere else in North America.

It’s no wonder it’s been dubbed the deadliest place on Earth. Welcome to Juarez Valley.
