Travel Summary

• There is a continual risk of public protests and strikes throughout Bolivia. Major roads can be blocked and public transport disrupted at very short notice. Although this means you will not be able to travel until the blockade is lifted, you should never try to cross a blockade due to the risk of violence. See Safety and Security - Local Travel.
  
  
• There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
  
  
• 88 British nationals required consular assistance in Bolivia in the period 01 April 2010 - 31 March 2011. See General - Consular Assistance Statistics. The British Embassy in La Paz does not issue full replacement passports. See General - Passports. You should register with the British Embassy using LOCATE.
  
  
• You should carry a photocopy of your passport (including the entry stamp and disembarkation card) with you at all times in case it is requested by immigration officials or the police.
  
  
• You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. See General - Insurance.
