A body has been found in the search for a kayak instructor from Cardiff who went missing following flash floods in Ecuador.

Former Cardiff University student Adam Vaughan, 22, was one of five men involved in a kayaking accident on 20 January.

They all disappeared after getting into difficulty on the Abanico river in the east of the country.

Two of the men from Ireland died, while an American and Ecuadorian were found.

But the search continued for Mr Vaughan, originally from Newbury, Berkshire.

Firefighters said a body, thought to be Mr Vaughan's, was found on a beach near the village of San Luis Del Acho, at the weekend.

The body has not yet been formally identified.

The bodies of Irishmen David Higgins, 26, from Kerry, and Alex McGourty, 19, from Sligo, were previously recovered following the incident.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are assisting the family of a British man who has been reported missing in Ecuador, and are in contact with the Ecuadorian authorities."

Ecuador is a patchwork of ethnic identities, a complex legacy of its indigenous and colonial past.

Long the heartland of a series of native Andean civilisations, it was taken over by the Peru-centred Inca Empire in the 15th century, and then Spanish conquerors a century later.

It won independence from Spain in the early 19th century.

Traditionally a farming country, Ecuador's economy was transformed after the 1960s by the growth of industry and the discovery of oil. There was rapid growth and progress in health, education and housing.

Ecuador has many geographical zones, including Andean peaks, tropical rainforests and - 1,000km (600 miles) off the coast - the volcanic Galapagos Islands, home to the animals and birds whose evolutionary adaptations shaped Charles Darwin's theories.

FACTS

LEADERS
President: Lenin Moreno
Lenin Moreno took office in May 2017 promising to continue the left-wing policies of his predecessor, Rafael Correa, one of the feistiest personalities in Latin American politics.

He promised more subsidies for the poor and a major social house building programme which would help to create millions of jobs. He also promised credit for rural workers and greater government financial accountability.

Mr Moreno is the first wheelchair user to become Ecuador's leader, and one of few in the world ever to serve as president.

MEDIA

Journalists and media outlets face a hostile political and legal environment, press freedom groups say.

Laws give the government powers to regulate editorial content and impose sanctions.

Radio is a popular medium; there are hundreds of stations, some operating in indigenous languages. Soap operas and US series are staple fare on TV.
