Drought Causes Blackouts in Ecuador

A lack of rain has caused severe power shortages leading to blackouts throughout the country of Ecuador.

For up to eight hours per day, Ecuadorians have been dealing with power outages for two weeks now. The rationing is expected to continue until March or until rain comes to refill depleted reservoirs.

Visitors to the country can expect daily blackouts in all regions of the country which could interrupt travel plans.  The regional outage schedule is published daily in local newspapers.
