I got trapped leaving La Paz in 2013. A line for women sitting across the road at the top of the main highway... Ended up slowly riding the bike along with a stream of pedestrians, through a hole in the blockage.
Earlier that year Brazilian strikers let me pass through their road blocks...5 in one day! Each time I just stop, took off my helmet, smile...and after sometime they let me pass.
Best of luck to all those traveling in Bolivia. Remember how exciting adventure seemed when you were home by the fire, with a glass of wine.
