The victim, named locally as Peter Buckley, 25, from Wexford, drowned after his motorised rickshaw came off the road and plunged down a steep bank into a river. It is understood he was the youngest of a family of nine, with four brothers and four sisters.

He and a friend, Eamonn O’Leary, were taking part in a 4,500km bike run across Peru to raise money for charity. Mr O’Leary was taken to hospital seriously injured.
