U.S. State Department Advisory
Official safety information for U.S. citizens
Exercise increased caution due to crime, unrest, and health. Petty crime like mugging, pickpocketing, and theft is common; violent crime including assault, homicide, carjacking, and residential break-ins also occurs. Large demonstrations can happen with little notice and disrupt transportation. The CDC has issued a health notice for Andes virus (Hantavirus), though risk to most travelers is extremely low.
- Avoid demonstrations as they can turn violent without warning.
- Never leave luggage or valuables unattended in vehicles.
- Be extra aware of your surroundings in urban centers.
- Avoid contact with rodents and their droppings in rural/camping areas.
