"Santa Catalina, is generally considered a safe and peaceful destination for both residents and tourists. The crime rate is relatively low compared to other regions in the country. However, like any other place, it is not entirely free from crime. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag snatching can occur, particularly in crowded areas or tourist hotspots.
