Two Austrian tourists have been kicked out of Machu Picchu and banned after they were allegedly spotted stripping off and taking pictures of their bare bottoms.

Local media said the tourists were caught by security guards at the world wonder in the Andes Mountains, in the Cusco Region of southeastern Peru.

Guards at the Directorate of Culture then alerted the Tourist Police, who arrested the alleged offenders and transferred them to the nearest checkpoint.

Head of the archaeological park Jose Bastante said: 'We must understand that this is a sacred space, this is Machu Picchu, not Disneyland.
