Virginia Man Missing in Peru Since May 13 After Leaving Cusco Airbnb

Ian Treger, a 29-year-old English teacher from Lexington, Virginia, has not been heard from since May 13 while hiking in southern Peru. He arrived in the country on May 11 for a planned 10-day trip and was last seen on surveillance footage leaving his Airbnb in Cusco that day. Peruvian National Police issued a missing persons report for Treger on June 2.

Officers in the Cusco region have conducted multiple searches using helicopter crews and land teams from the High Mountain Rescue Units. Search efforts have focused on Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain and Choquequirao archaeological park. Treger’s phone went offline during the search period, and police said they lack reliable information on which trail he took.

“We don’t have reliable information on where the tourist has gone, and that complicates things for us,” a police spokesperson told Andina. ” Officials recovered Treger’s laptop from the Airbnb and are sending it to the United States. He is described as 5-foot-10, with a medium build and two fish tattoos on his right calf.
