A British tourist and his French friend have been arrested after they posed for naked pictures at Peru’s world famous Machu Picchu ruins.
According to local media the men, identified as Adam Burton, 23, and Eric Xavier Mariec, 28, were detained after they removed their clothes and used a mobile phone to take photographs.
The men were then taken to a police station and were later charged with moral misconduct, according to reports.
A spokeman for the Foreign Office said it was in contact with authorities in Peru "following an incident involving a British national in Machu Pichu".
Surveillance was increased at the Machu Picchu ruins in 2014 after a surge of nude photos were taken at the Unesco World Heritage site.
The citadel stands 2,430 metres (7,972ft) above sea level and was built at the height of the Inca Empire in the 15th century.
Last June, British woman Eleanor Hawkins, 23, from Derby, was jailed for three days along with three other tourists when they posed naked on a mountain in Malaysia.
The group was charged with causing a public nuisance.
