La Paz
Mexico
Travel advisory ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup: it is a severe crime to bring weapons, ammunition, e-cigarettes, vaping liquids, or any form of marijuana (including medical) into Mexico. Ignorance of these laws is not a defense and violations carry long jail sentences. Thoroughly check all baggage for prohibited items before crossing the border, use official airport taxis or registered rideshare apps like Uber, keep your passport valid, carry limited cash, and if traveling to Quintana Roo download the "Guest Assist" app for local emergencies.
Anti-government protests and roadblocks are choking the route between La Paz and El Alto International Airport (LPB), with demonstrators blocking key highways and approaches. Ground transfers to the airport face severe delays or may be impassable. Use the Mi Teleferico cable car system instead of taxis or cars for airport access, allow several extra hours, and avoid protest zones.
