A Venezuelan ice cream shop, popular with tourists for its record-breaking range of flavours, has temporarily closed because of a shortage of milk.
Coromoto, in the city of Merida in the Venezuelan Andes, is the latest to fall victim to the country's economic woes.
The shop is listed in the Guinness Book of Records for having 863 different exotic-tasting ice creams.
Venezuela has been hit by acute shortages of certain staples, such as milk and toilet paper, in recent years.
The economic slowdown, high rates of inflation and strict controls on foreign exchange are all seen as contributing factors that have led to the crisis.
"We are closed during the season due to shortage of milk," the ice-cream store announced (in Spanish) on its Facebook page.
