LIMA, Peru - A cheap hotel and a bath in an irrigation ditch — not the usual travel arrangements for Hollywood celebrities.

But Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson were apparently out to show the locals in Peru that they aren’t your average high-maintenance movie stars.

Local celebrity gossip program “Magaly TeVe” aired video Wednesday night of the two actors deep in Peru’s Andes bathing in an irrigation ditch wearing nothing but their boxer shorts. It showed the pair pouring handfuls of water over themselves under the highland sun.

Harrelson and Wilson were reportedly visiting a local orphanage they support near Cuzco, the ancient Incan capital.

They dodged reporters at Lima’s Jorge Chavez International Airport on their way to a hotel that cost less than $50 a night, “Magaly TeVe” said. They flew to Cuzco Wednesday morning.

Wilson and Harrelson are the latest celebrities to visit the region, rich in archaeological ruins.

Cameron Diaz, Olivia Newton-John and Microsoft Corp. chairman Bill Gates meandered through Cuzco’s centuries-old cobblestone streets earlier this year.
