Aramu Muru

Atmospheric site where you can feel the energy of the past. Fascinating that so little is known of its history. If you visit make sure you climb to the top of the hill to see the beautiful rock formations and views of Lake Titicaca. Locals are happy for you to camp in the area too, when you can enjoy the night sky and perhaps find out why this place was a Stargate?!

Even if you are not into mysticism, the terrain alone is enough to marvel at. The red earth and rock outcrops shapes are otherworldly in stature. It’s not something you see every day. I could not operate the drone within close proximity to the “portal”. I’m guess it’s the magnetic interference. I had to walk probably a hundred meters before the drone would respond. Amazing place.

Most incredible portal and energy vortex!! A MYST see site. A place of magic that is still mysterious and off the beaten trick. We felt especially privileged to have been taken here.

Beautiful views. Reminds me of Moab Utah :) Short hike but really winded at top, close 14K feet at top.

This place is truly something remarkable and special!!! We had such an incredible time here. The energy of this place is truly unparalleled to anywhere else on the planet I’ve been! The crystals and local artesanal crafts are super cheap!!! Buy off each one of them even if it’s a small crystal!!! Only 1-10soles depending on the stone Must visit, 5soles to get in!! 😍🙌🏼🤩

Nice touristic Inca place to visit if you are in Puno, Perú. You can see Lake Titicaca from there

Nice place. If you are an advanced rock climber in particulat. If not just enjoy a nice walk and beautiful rock formations. An old man at the bottom asks money for so called guide services. Nice to give him a coin.

Aramu Muru is a stone carving in Hayu Marca (a majestic and rugged mountain range along the shores of Lake Titicaca - Peru), some 115 km from Juliaca City and about 78 km from border city Desaguadero (with Bolivia). Known as “Gate of the Gods”, it was accidently discovered in 1996 and is believed by locals to be an abandoned Incan construction project (although what purpose the space once served is still unknown). Aramu Muru is cut in the side of one such granite crest. The flat stone is approximately 7.0 m square, with a T-shaped alcove is 198 cm high carved in the bottom middle (one man can fit into it). The surface of the portal is well-polished. Many local legends tell that - Aramu Muru is seen as a gate leads to the spirit world or even - to the world of gods. Anyway, it is not known when Aramu Muru was made and who did it as no archaeological research has been done here yet. Nowadays, locals carry out rituals of all kinds at the door of Aramu Muru, to ask for peace, to say thank you to the Gods or ask for hope. On the other side of the cliff in earlier times was located a tunnel, which is blocked now with stones to prevent mishaps with tourists. July and August are the best months when most tourists visit Aramu Muru to explore, make some hiking, rituals... Whatever the reason is that you visit Aramu Muru, you will certainly be fascinated, for the natural beauty that surrounds Lake Titicaca, the varied geography, the legends or the spiritual energy that undoubtedly recharges you in this beautiful area of Peru.
