Aramu Muru

Situated 35 kilometers from Puno and very close to Lake Titicaca, amidst green fields, we find what is considered one of the wonders of the region: The door of Aramu Muru, a stone construction seven meters wide and seven meters tall.

Locals say that it is the entrance to the God Meru’s Temple of Illumination or “Hayu Marca”, they tell strange stories about the door such as on certain afternoons it becomes semi-transparent.

There is also the belief that if you touch the inside of the door frame with both hands you experience strange phenomenon such as visions of fire, musical melodies and visions of tunnels that run under the mountain. However, only very few people have actually experienced the aforementioned phenomenon.

Natives consider the place known as “Aramu Muru” as the door and man as the key, you can only pass through when you are in harmony with the sun.

Legend tells of a Inca priest called Aramu Muru who belonged to the Seven Rays Monastery – where cult worship of the sun took place – who set out on foot from Tiahuanaco to Cusco carrying a gold disc. Along the way he disappeared and was never seen again. This period in history coincides with the conquest and the Spanish troops had just taken Cusco. The priest is said to have taken refuge in the mountains to prevent the gold disc, created by the Gods, from falling into the hands of the Spanish. The ancient inhabitants of Lake Titicaca named the gigantic stone door after him. However over time the doors name and location were forgotten. Aramu Muru knew where the door was and also a secret method to gain access to its interior and to other dimensions. He disappeared behind the door with the intention of saving himself and the solar disc.
