WARDEN MESSAGE
U.S. EMBASSY LA PAZ, BOLIVIA
May 23, 2008

This Warden message is being issued to inform U.S. citizens traveling
to and residing in Bolivia that given political tension and the
planned visit of Bolivian President Morales to Sucre, there is the
potential for protests and confrontations with law enforcement this
weekend in Sucre. We ask American citizens to read the
country-specific information on Bolivia, available at
http://www.travel.state.gov, specifically the information under Safety
and Security.

American citizens are reminded that even demonstrations intended to be
peaceful can turn confrontational between security forces,
demonstrators, and bystanders, and escalate into violence. Americans
are urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations and to exercise caution
if within the vicinity of any protests. If you find yourself in the
vicinity of a large gathering, it is recommended you leave the area
immediately for your own safety. American citizens should stay
current with media coverage of local events.

Americans residing or traveling in Bolivia are encouraged to register
and update their contact information at the U.S. Embassy in La Paz
and/or the U.S. consular agencies in Cochabamba and Santa Cruz,
Bolivia. Registration may be done online and can be done in advance
of travel. Information on registering may be found at the Department
of State's Consular Affairs web site:
https://travelregistration.state.gov.

U.S. citizens should consult the Country Specific Information for
Bolivia and the latest Travel Alerts and Warnings and Worldwide
Caution at the Department's web site at http://travel.state.gov.
Updated information on travel and security in Bolivia may also be
obtained from the Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747 within
the United States or by calling 1-202-501-4444 outside the United
States. During regular work hours, the American Citizens Services
unit at the Embassy in La Paz may be reached at 591-2-216-8297. The
consular agencies may be reached in Santa Cruz at 591-3-351-3477 and

We hope this information is useful to you. If we may provide further
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
