This is what the U.S. Embassy says about security of Americans in Bolivia.

What is the real story?

What are the real dangers?

Where are the safe places?

How much risk is there for expats?

Protests, strikes and other civic actions can occur at any time and disrupt transportation on a local and national level. This is particularly true before, during and after elections or other changes in government. While protest actions generally begin peacefully, they have the potential to become violent. The police have used tear gas to break up protests. In addition to rallies and street demonstrations, protesters sometimes block roads; they sometimes react with force when travelers attempt to pass through or go around roadblocks and occasionally have used the threat of explosives to press their point.

U.S. citizens should avoid roadblocks and demonstrations. Demonstrations protesting government or private company policies occur frequently, even in otherwise peaceful times. Roadblocks and demonstrations in June 2005 led to the closure of the La Paz airport, resulting in cancellation and diversion of flights and other inconveniences to travelers. U.S. citizens planning travel to or from Bolivia should take into consideration the possibility of disruptions to air service in and out of La Paz and other airports. Americans should monitor Bolivian media reports for updates. The Embassy strongly recommends that U.S. citizens avoid areas where roadblocks or public demonstrations are occurring or planned. Political rallies should similarly be avoided in light of press reports of violence at some rallies in various parts of Bolivia.

Hi, I am in the preliminary stages of a documentary about american citizens living and working in bolivia. I want to focus mostly on why the leave america, what their experience is in bolivia, how their perspective changes, and anything else I'm not considering that you may be able to enlighten me on. Please email me if you have anything you can contribute. If you are living in Bolivia or know someone who is, then you fit my criteria. Please email me at smax21@gmail.com or skype me at smax21. I appreciate anything you may be able to contribute.

My name is Windsor, and I arrived here in La Paz Bolivia June 22nd, 2007 and taking 2 hour classes of Gastronamia. The safety of north americans like myself are fine. If you live near Plaza San Francisco (Your chances of being in danger is 90%). If you live in San Pedro (Your chances of being in danger is 90%). If you live in Sopocachi from Espeazu and the corner of sanchez lima, 6 de agosto and 20 de octubre to Calle Campos (Your chances of being in danger is 1%) I live in Edificio Nicole and this area where I am living now is safe and harmless.

A Little about me: I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. My parents were born in La Paz Zona Sur and I´m here to attend clases of 2 hours for 4 days every week. I çhave a good resume and seeking a job opportunity with the US Embassy or a American Company in La Paz like USAID who I faxed my resume to last week. We want to be specific on the topic here about the word Americans as to North Americans because people who were born in South America say they are Americans too.

Sincerely,

Windsor
