LIMA (Reuters) - Two Chileans and a man with dual U.S.-Russian citizenship died in Peru while trying to climb a snow-capped mountain in the Andes, a spokesman for a mountain climbing group said Tuesday.
The three men likely triggered an avalanche as they climbed Piramide de Garcilaso, a 5,885 meter-high (19,308 feet) peak in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range of Peru's central Andes, Rafael Figueroa with the Mountain Guides Association of Peru (AGMP) said on local broadcaster RPP.
