Hello, mystery seekers! I’m part of the Dreamy Tours team, and today I’m inviting you on a fascinating journey to Aramu Muru, that door carved into the rock that seems to whisper ancient secrets near Lake Titicaca. Located in the Hayu Marca mountains, about 35 km southeast of Puno, this enigmatic site is like a portal to another world, surrounded by Inca legends and spiritual energies that will give you goosebumps. At Dreamy Tours, we’ve organized tours to Aramu Muru for groups seeking not just history, but that deep connection with the mystical. Imagine touching a stone that, according to local stories, opened for a priest fleeing with a sacred golden disk. Are you ready to explore this magical corner of Peru?

The Legend of Aramu Muru: A Portal to the Dimension of the Gods
Aramu Muru, also known as the “Gate of the Gods” or Hayu Marca, is a huge stone sculpture about 7 meters high and wide, with a T-shaped cavity that looks like an unfinished door. Discovered in 1996 by a local guide, José Luis Delgado Mamani, this rock formation has fascinated everyone ever since. According to Aymara and Quechua tradition, it was a sacred place for rituals and pilgrimages, linked to the birth of the sun god Inti.
The most captivating legend tells of an Inca priest named Aramu Muru, who during the Spanish conquest fled from Cusco with a sacred golden disk from the Koricancha temple. Upon reaching this gate, he placed the disk in the cavity, and the portal opened, taking him to another dimension along with a priestess, to protect the treasure from invaders. Some see it as an interdimensional stargate or an energy vortex, where shamans still perform ceremonies to connect with the universe. On Dreamy Tours, our local guides share these stories as you walk through the site, and many visitors report feelings of peace or visions during meditations there.

Why Visit Aramu Muru: Mystery, Energy, and Nature
This site isn’t just a carved rock; it’s an enigma that blends Inca archaeology with pre-Inca myths from cultures like the Pukinas and Lupacas. Excavation is prohibited by the Peruvian government, but Aramu Muru attracts spiritual tourists, adventurers, and the curious due to its mystical aura. Surrounded by high-altitude landscapes with views of Lake Titicaca, it’s perfect for disconnecting and recharging your energy. Some believe it emits a special vibration, ideal for rituals or simply to feel that “gateway to the divine.”
In my experiences with Dreamy Tours, I’ve seen solo travelers meditating in front of the gate at sunset, or groups sharing mate while discussing whether it’s a real portal or an abandoned Inca project. Whatever it is, the journey from Puno – about 1-2 hours by car – passes through impressive views of the altiplano, and you can combine it with a visit to the Fertility Temple in Chucuito, with its peculiar sculptures.


How to Get to Aramu Muru and What to Expect on a Tour
From Puno, access is easy: take route PE-3S towards the Bolivian border, and a short dirt road leads to a parking area, followed by a 10-15 minute walk. The best time to visit is during the dry season (May-October) to avoid rain, although August is ideal for offerings according to local traditions. Bring water, sunscreen, and warm clothing – the wind from Titicaca can be chilly.
At Dreamy Tours, our private half-day tours include transportation, a guide in Spanish or English, entrance fees, and stops at nearby spots like the Stone Forest. We pick you up from your hotel in Puno around 9 AM, explore the portal with time for meditation or photos, and return by midday. It’s accessible for everyone, but please respect the site: avoid touching the rock unnecessarily, as it is sacred to the Aymara communities.
My Experience at Aramu Muru with Dreamy Tours: A Touch of Magic
On one of our recent tours, I took a couple of spiritualists who were looking to “recharge their souls.” Upon arriving at the gate, our Aymara guide told us the legend of the golden disk while we performed a simple ceremony with coca leaves. The woman felt an “energy rising up her back,” and we ended the day with sunset views over the lake. As a travel agency in Puno, we take pride in connecting people with these authentic mysteries, without excessive commercialism – just nature, history, and that unique vibe that makes Aramu Muru unforgettable.
