Roadblocks and protests in Bolivia

Advertisement
In bolivia there are currently many roadblocks (because of protests) and it is virtually impossible to leave or arrive into a city (by bus or car)

im in sucre right now, and although it is an amazing city, i cannot spend too much time here since i have a limited time period to get to ecuador (and all the places in between)

all flights are booked till saturday at least, and roadblocks are indefinite.

apparently the bolivian government has not even acknowledged the issue.

is there any way i can get out of uscre other than flight?

is there some sort of 4x4 jeep thing (similar to the one i took from san pedro to uyuni) that can avoid the roadblocks?

Hello Ted 😊

I moved this to the Travel News and Discussion Forum.

Does anybody have a news link about the road blocks and travel safety advise reports?

It was just starting to be a problem back in June - I don't advise trying to catch a bus or car out for the moment - I met people who when stranded in the middle of nowhere were kicked out and had to walk for many hours to get to the next town/city.
