BOLIVIA: Road Blockades and Tourism Operations Update – Uyuni Salt Flats

Uyuni, May 21, 2026.

In recent days, temporary road blockades have affected some main routes in Bolivia. We would like to provide a clear update regarding the current situation and the status of tourism operations.

From time to time, Bolivia may experience temporary road blockades related to social or political matters. These situations are generally localized and short-term. During such periods, the Nomadex operations team actively coordinates alternative routes, itinerary adjustments, and operational solutions to ensure that tourist services continue running as smoothly as possible.

Current Tourism Operations Status

At present, some road blockades remain active, and certain overland routes are temporarily affected.

Currently, overland access between Peru and Bolivia through the Lake Titicaca region is experiencing temporary disruptions. However, Bolivia’s main tourist destinations and tourism services continue operating normally, including:

  • La Paz and El Alto International Airport
  • Uyuni and the Uyuni Salt Flats
  • Sucre
  • Potosí
  • Santa Cruz de la Sierra

All Nomadex tours operating in the Uyuni Salt Flats region are currently running normally and remain fully operational.

Traveler Safety

We would like to emphasize that the current situation does not represent a direct risk to travelers’ safety. However, temporary delays or modifications to certain overland transportation routes may occur depending on local conditions.

Our operations team is continuously monitoring developments in coordination with local partners and local authorities to ensure safe travel conditions and to keep all travelers informed of any important updates.
