Man aged 92 becomes oldest person to hike Grand Canyon rim to rim

Alfredo Aliaga Burdio says achievement shows it's never too late as he only started living healthily in his mid-70s

A 92-year-old who recently became the oldest person to cross the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim on foot says he is proof that it is never too late to try something - because he waited until his mid-70s to start leading what he considers a healthy life.

I began living a healthy lifestyle really at age 76," Alfredo Aliaga Burdio - a Spanish-born resident of Berlin - told the Guinness World Records site in an interview.
