Renowned Hollywood actor Robert De Niro climbed Huayna Picchu Summit and visited
Joined by his son and a tour guide, the journey started at 5:30 AM on Tuesday.
De Niro came across with privileged travelers during the climb. Some of them stressed the fact that he has reached the peak at his age, although he looked somehow tired upon his return.
Some tourists approached him to say hello and even the Culture Ministry staff took pictures of him.
His visit was so much more pleasant this time. It must be noted the star had already visited the ancient ruins on Monday but in the rain.
In contrast, today's weather was good, and the bright sunny day showcased the beauty of the Inca citadel to its full extent.
He also spoke with journalists, with whom he shared his views on the beautiful place.
He also visited Pedro de Osma Museum located in the capital city's traditional Barranco district.
