Warden Message: Demonstration Notices posted on U.S. Embassy website

Published on Friday, November 13, 2009
This Warden Message alerts U.S. citizens traveling to and residing in Venezuela that political marches and demonstrations are frequent in Caracas and in Venezuela. Travelers should be aware that violence, including exchanges of gunfire and tear gas, has occurred at political demonstrations in the past. Demonstrations tend to occur at or near university campuses, business centers, and gathering places such as public squares and plazas. Marches generally occur on busy thoroughfares, significantly impacting traffic. Most major tourist destinations, including coastal beach resorts and Margarita Island, generally have not been affected by protest actions in the past. The city of Merida, however, a major tourist destination in the Andes, has been the scene of frequent demonstrations, some of them violent, including the use of firearms and tear gas. (Full story)
