The friend who found missing British tourist Hannah Almond after she disappeared in Peru has described the moment they reunited.
Ms Almond, 32 from Grimsby, went missing after being violently robbed by locals and left sleeping under a bridge with no money or passport for a month.
She was found on Sunday by Piero Villanueva, who she had met briefly in Lima and who travelled to Cusco to look for her after MailOnline raised awareness of her plight.
'I have just found her. She is safe and well. I'd like to thank the authorities and the people who contacted me so I could help her,' he told Cusco TV 47 immediately after.
'Hannah recognised me and approached me crying and I asked her to leave with me,' he said. 'Thanks God she's safe.'
