The 32-year-old shared videos from his trek with friends to see the Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains – while carrying his godson Hiro on his back.

Machu Picchu is situated on a mountain ridge that is 2,430 meteres above sea level.

Hamilton reached the top of the testing climb and shared a photo of the stunning views.

The ancient settlement is believed to have been built around 1450 before it was abandoned a century later during the Spanish Conquest.
