Full Description
Part I: Begin the Journey to the Gate of the Gods.
Your Amaru Muru Tour from Puno begins at 9:00 am, when a Mystery Peru representative and English-speaking guide meets you at your hotel. From there, we travel in a private vehicle, heading south across the altiplano toward the mystical site of Amaru Muru, also known as Ajayu Marka—“The Gate of the Gods.” As we drive along the edge of Lake Titicaca, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the water and the surrounding landscapes, already setting the tone for a powerful and personal journey.
Part II: Encounter the Mysterious Portal.
Upon arrival at the Amaru Muru site, you’ll immediately sense a change in the atmosphere. The giant stone façade carved into the red rock stands silent yet full of presence. Many believe this was once used as a stargate by Inca priests, while others claim it holds interdimensional energy. Visitors often kneel or meditate, drawn to the portal’s mysterious power. As your guide explains the legends and theories—from ancient aliens to hidden civilizations—you’ll find yourself caught between myth and reality.
Used in ceremonies for generations, Amaru Muru is more than a curiosity—it’s a bridge between ancient spirituality and living tradition.
