Thanks, Hergé, for this up-to-date info with tips for travelers. Roadblocks are common in Bolivia, less so in Peru. In France, there aren’t any at the moment. Best regards, JLMA

Hi there! Thanks a lot, Luc! I have to say, right now there’s a lot going on in South America. Blockades in Bolivia and Peru, a presidential election in Colombia with a crucial runoff in June... In short, things are moving! Not to mention the upheavals in Argentina, the country where I’ve been living for a long time. Anyway, thanks for following me! I’ll keep guiding and informing future travelers before they arrive in South America. And for those who want to dive deeper, you can also keep following me on my site: petitherge.com.
