US State Department Travel Considerations for Bolivia


September 29, 2000
Bolivia has recently experienced widespread civil strife, which has resulted in the death of at least eight Bolivian citizens over the last two weeks. The disturbances began with protests by coca leaf growers in the Chapare region of the country, but have spread to rural areas across Bolivia. Throughout the country, groups of Bolivians protesting various government policies have blocked highways with stones, tree limbs, and trash. Protesters have attacked motorists attempting to evade the blockades, and in one instance killed a motorist. There have been some clashes between police attempting to clear the roads and protesters. Travel to any of the usual tourist attractions, such as Copacabana on Lake Titicaca or Sorata (a favorite destination for backpackers) is dangerous.

All overland shipments to La Paz have been blocked or delayed and all roads leading to the city are also blocked, as rural protesters attempt to isolate the capital.

While U.S. citizens are not specifically targeted, U.S. citizens traveling in Bolivia are strongly advised to avoid overland travel. Air travel to Bolivia's major cities has not been interrupted but U.S. citizens are urged to monitor local news sources and to consult with the Embassy before commencing travel.

For further general information on travel to Bolivia, please consult the Department of State's latest Consular Information Sheet available at the Bureau of Consular Affairs home page at http//travel.state.gov. All Americans resident or traveling in Bolivia are urged to register with the U.S. Embassy in La Paz (Tel 5912430251), the consular agency in Cochabamba (5914273166), or the consular agency in Santa Cruz (5913426476) and to obtain updated information on the security situation.
