10 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 6
The April 28 notice keeps Bolivia at Level 2, cites petty crime in tourist areas and El Alto, and requires special authorisation for US government travel to Chapare.
Officials said demonstrations tied to politics and the economy can erupt with little warning, disrupting transport and essential services, while Chapare faces violent crime linked to illegal coca production and narco-trafficking.
The advisory says US emergency assistance in Chapare is limited and urges travellers to stay alert, avoid crowds, monitor local updates, and carry insurance and emergency plans.
