Be still prepared for some inconvenience though.

The road north of La Paz towards Rurrenabaque (a little further than the infamous "death road" part) is still ocasionally blocked by farmers near the town of Caranavi.

The Chapare region (the northern road between Cochabamba and Santa Cruz) is clear, but may have problems soon again, as the "peace-talks" are probably not very easy.

So still read those newspapers or get information in the bus-terminals of mayor cities (the bus-drivers have had mayor damage during the last road-blocks and will seriously beware of risking the lives of themselves, their bus & the passengers agian).

Saludos,

Tim

(I feel like the Bolivia-HUBB correspondent now..)

Bolivia is not safe in La Paz and Cochabamba at the moment. Disturbances, looting and gun-fight might spread to other cities too, so PLEASE keep yourself updated through local radios.
