London, 13 December /PRNewswire-GNN/ --
FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH OFFICE News Release issued by The Government News
Network on 13 December 2007
The Foreign Office today changed its travel advice for Bolivia. We now advise
against all but essential travel to the cities of Santa Cruz, Cochabamba,
Trinidad, Sucre, Tarija and Cobija, due to the current tense political
situation. The relevant summary point now reads:
"We advise against all but essential travel to the cities of Santa Cruz,
Cochabamba, Trinidad, Sucre, Tarija and Cobija. There is a particular risk
of violent disturbances in these cities at the current time. Travellers to
other parts of Bolivia, including La Paz, should also exercise extreme caution
and avoid large crowds. The political situation in Bolivia is very tense and
there is the risk that demonstrations and confrontations might break out at
short notice. See the Local Travel section of this advice for more details."
