Travelers and tourists should be made aware that apparently numerous social, political and professional organizations are calling for a nationwide strike throughout Ecuador on August 13th, 2015.
Please take any precautions required as there could be inconveniences that occur due to the apparent protests and marches planned throughout the country on August 13th, 2015.
In particular, activities in the major towns and cities may be effected (e.g., transportation etc).
