Harry Greaves, 29, from Shropshire has not been in contact with relatives since April 7, when he planned to hike a mountain alone.

His family said the lack of communication since that date was “out of character”.

Relatives of the backpacker, from Bronygarth near Oswestry, are planning to travel to the country after a search of the area failed to leave any indication of his whereabouts.

Greaves had flown to Peru to meet friends in Pisac, near Cusco, on February 20 and had emailed his family twice saying he was enjoying his trip, reports BBC News.

On April 7 he told his friends of his plans to go on a mountain expedition in Kinsa Cocha by himself and expected to return by April 10.
