The body of 26-year-old Israeli backpacker Oren Zamir, reported missing after embarking on a challenging trek in northern Peru's Huaraz region last month, has been recovered on Sunday weeks after losing contact.
His body was found at the base of a cliff by a local search team as the Israeli embassy in Lima and the international search and rescue firm MAGNUS coordinated with local authorities to locate him.
The Department for Israelis Abroad at the Foreign Ministry has maintained constant contact with his family in Israel and is assisting in repatriating his remains.
