Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni and her partner, José Hernandez, have encountered two significant incidents during their travels in Peru. On August 21, a magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck the Ayacucho region. While the tremors were felt in Lima, Ferragni confirmed via Instagram that she and Hernandez were safe and not in the affected zone. Later in the month, Ferragni experienced a health scare in Cuzco due to altitude sickness after hiking Rainbow Mountain at an elevation exceeding 5,000 meters. She reported symptoms including difficulty breathing, a sensation of heat, and unresponsive arms. She noted that she and Hernandez had underestimated the effects of the high altitude as they had not taken preventative medication. After using an oxygen mask at her hotel for approximately 15 minutes, she recovered and resumed her trip, moving on to Lima. The incident sparked online discussion, including criticism from journalist Selvaggia Lucarelli regarding the manner in which the event was communicated on social media. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-30: Chiara Ferragni suffers altitude sickness during trip to Peru Chiara Ferragni suffered a bout of altitude sickness in Cusco, Peru, after trekking Rainbow Mountain.
