Jordan Yap, a 30-year-old hiker from Melbourne, has been found dead in Peru's Huayhuash mountain range, his family confirmed. Yap last contacted friends and family on 14 September before beginning a planned 10-day solo trek in the remote range located 400 kilometres north-east of Lima. The circumstances of his death have not been detailed in available reports. His family described him as someone who brought "immense joy to so many people's lives" and asked that he be remembered for that impact. The discovery ends a search for the Australian trekker who went missing while traversing one of South America's most challenging hiking regions.
