The UK government is advising against all but essential travel to the La Paz Department, including La Paz city, and the Chapare region of Cochabamba Department in Bolivia.
This advisory is due to ongoing protests and road blockades across several regions, including La Paz, Cochabamba, Oruro, Potosí and Chuquisaca.
Clashes have occurred between security forces and those protesting against President Rodrigo Paz’s government.
British nationals are urged to avoid large gatherings, not attempt to cross roadblocks, and monitor local media.
Travellers with non-essential presence in La Paz are advised by the FCDO to “consider departing now if you judge you can access travel options safely”.
