i wouldn't worry too much about being in cdj as long as she stays within the consulate tourist area and, of course, doesn't go out after dark. i would however be very wary about the trip there if it involves driving or taking a greyhound-type bus because the highways all over mexico are unsafe for the most part. some of them are old, and narrow, and just dangerous because of their layout. others are dangerous because there's people waiting for any vehicle to stop to harm them, and that includes those big buses. i've also heard stories where they take big objects like the trunk of a tree or another car and block the highway and once you're forced to stop they steal everything you've got if not worse. i think that doesn't happen so often in the south of mexico which is the more peaceful part, but going to cdj i wouldn't risk it. i recommend flying unless she's close enough to where the trip would be very brief.
