Merv,
I'm currently in San Cristobal. I would strongly recommend travelers do not come through this area right now. Most of the roads are either blockaded, or were previously blockaded, and there's metal, nails, broken glass etc all over the streets. I haven't ridden in more than a week due to this. Even the main roads through town are blocked.
The police/Mil are generally concentrated in a few areas; many areas that were reasonably safe (Barrio Obrero, Las Pilas) are now quite dangerous, even in the middle of the day. It's a bit of a ghost town; most people haven't gone to work in more than a week, and are staying indoors, so any services needed (w/exception of medical) aren't readily available.
That being said, if you're crossing here, feel free to contact me for updated info or a place to stay.
Best,
- Agave
