If so, how have the recent protests affected the towns? I've heard of roadblocks in the area.
As a general comment, I'd say that FCO tends to be overly cautious regarding social unrest in south America. The protests, while a nuisance to travellers, are not directed against foreigners. You might get stuck (I was in 2004, when a 10 hour bus trip took 30 hours due to a road block), but that's about it.

The UK FCO is advising against all but essential travel to the areas. Is their advice well founded? We are planning to go there at some point in October.
