Raymond Vincent Ashcroft was visiting the temple ruins on Feb. 3 when he suddenly vanished, Guatemalan authorities said.
The park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in a remote jungle in Northern Guatemala’s Petén province.
Ashcroft was reported missing to the authorities at 2 p.m. and a search party comprised of police, agents from the tourist civil authority, and soldiers were sent out to look for the 66-year-old tourist, authorities said.Â
His wife, Van Phung, told local media her husband of 40 years was on a vacation with a bird-watching group when he decided to return to their hotel room.
She stayed behind to take photos of an alligator and birds before returning to look for her husband.
Ashcroft has been missing for seven weeks. The Guatemalan authorities notified Interpol, which facilitates law enforcement cooperation across borders, who issued a yellow notice. Yellow notices are issued to help locate missing persons, often minors, or to help identify persons who are unable to identify themselves.
