Current Roadblocks Across Colombia
 

Travelers in Colombia,

Things are getting heated in particular towns across the country in recent protests - there has been a bunch of roadblocks across the main highways, although a motorbike may be able to squeeze around them or even by pass other roads - just be friendly and sympathetic to the cause the people if you do try and you'll have a better chance of getting through, by no means get aggressive or angry with them if they wont let you through, there are some nasty sorts who have infiltrated the genuine protesters and some genuinely P'd off people against the government , they are saying the protests will be going into next week - but could be longer

here a website of Colombian news in English with a report on it

good luck if your travelling through

cheers
