According to the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth
Office, Bolivia is undergoing a period of social unrest. Since the start
of the year there have been a number of fatalities. Roads are blockaded
from time to time. You should avoid demonstrations at all times and should
not attempt to pass through or go around roadblocks. Strikes and other
civil actions can occur at any time and can disrupt transport locally
or nationally.

Blockades intensified in mid-September and continue.
Road traffic across the Altiplano from La Paz westwards, in particular
up to Lake Titicaca, the Peruvian border, Oruro, and the Chilean border
is subject to blockades or disruption at any time. La Paz to the Yungas
is equally affected. Visitors are advised not to travel in these areas.
Sorata has particular problems.
