Chasing Chey's video: ESCAPE From Sucre Traveling During A Major Protest The Most ORGANIZED Protest I ve Ever Seen

*Please note that Sucre is a WONDERFUL city that I look forward to visiting again someday and would highly recommend anyone visiting. We never felt endangered at any point during the protests - mostly just inconvenienced. I was lucky to be traveling with a group that included a local tour guide who was phenomenal and took great strides to get us out of the city* Traveling is a wonderful experience, but the world around you doesn't stop revolving just because you're on vacation. I traveled to Sucre, Bolivia right as a major protest was starting... and the town literally shut down for days. This was by far one of the most organized protests I've EVER seen (although I don't have many others to compare this to). The town decided to barricade the roads in and out of the city (using cars, rocks, furniture, we even saw tape across one roadway), and shut down many businesses during that time. We ended up staying for longer than expected because there was physically no way out of town. We heard that the roads were supposed to open for a few hours very early one morning to let in/out people and supplies. Unfortunately we didn't make it very far before running into more road blocks, so we walked. Luckily some locals decided to run personal cars as taxis between some road blocks which helped tremendously. We were able to eventually make it to the last road block and get picked up by a bus on the other side. Again, I never felt unsafe during my time in Sucre. However it was a good lesson in having a backup during your travels and knowing your options and resources should this situation arise. _____ TRAVEL VLOG MUSIC: "Pulsating City 5" by Niclas Gustavsson 🎵 Music from Epidemic Sound - try it for free: http://bit.ly/3bGF5gi _____ 📸 INSTAGRAM: @chasingchey http://www.instagram.com/chasingchey/
