Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni has shared photos from her hiking trip to Machu Picchu in Peru, describing the ancient site as one of the most magical places she has ever visited.
The collection of images, published on her Instagram account on Wednesday, August 26, featured a romantic photo of her partner kissing her on the mouth against the backdrop of the Peruvian landmarks.
Ferragni also posed in front of the region's mountain scenery during her trek and captured a photograph of a llama she encountered along the path.
Two days on the trails
In the caption accompanying her post, Ferragni explained that her visit to the historic complex lasted two days. She dedicated one day to exploring route 1 and another day to completing the hike up Huayna Picchu.
She noted that the climb up Huayna Picchu was physically demanding, but maintained that the effort was entirely worthwhile. Ferragni added that the location felt like one of the most spiritual places she had ever experienced, concluding that she was left without words.
