The U.S. Embassy in Caracas issued an alert reminding travelers that political demonstrations are frequent in Caracas and other cities, and in the past they have involved tear gas, gunfire and other violence. Marches usually occur on main thoroughfares and severely disrupt traffic, while demonstrations often take place near university campuses and in public plazas. Most major tourist areas have not been affected by such rallies, but the popular tourist city of Merida in the Andes has had frequent demonstrations, some of which have turned violent.
