Far from civilization, and high within the Andes, an outcropping of ancient petrified sandstone was shaped by the hands of a forgotten civilization. The technology they possessed exceeds the current understand of quantum principals.
The outcropping was made ornate by including the features of a woman lying on her back as she gazes silently towards the sky. Beneath her, a shallow entryway, an odd keyhole, was placed whose secrets have been known to the Aymara shamen for thousands of years.
Now, as we approach 2016, and the end of an era, those secrets have been given. The mysterious portal has opened once again to those gifted enough, brave enough, to pass through. But who or what, waits on the other side?

In September of 1996, a huge mysterious door-like structure was discovered in the Hayu Marca mountain region of Southern Peru. Hayu Marca, which is 35 kilometres from the city of Puno has long been revered by local indians as the "City of the Gods". It has never been fully explored because of the rugged mountain terrain.
Although no actual city has ever been discovered, many of the rock formations of the region resemble buildings and artificial structures. The door, or the "Puerta de Hayu Marca" (Gate of the gods/spirits) has been at some time in the distant past carved out of a natural rock face and in all measures exactly seven meters in height by seven meters in width with a smaller alcove in the center at the base, which measures in at just under two meters in height.
Jose Luis Delgado Mamani stumbled across the structure while trekking through the surrounding foothills trying to familiarize himself with the area as his job is as a guide for mountaineering tourists. After discovering the door, Mamani contacted archaeological authorities in Puno, La Paz and Lima, and within a short time the area was besieged with archaeologists and Inca historians.

It turned out that the native Indians of the region had a legend that spoke of "A gateway to the lands of the gods", and in that legend it was said that in times long past, great heroes had gone to join their gods and passed through the gate for a glorious new life of immortality, and on rare occasions those men returned for a short time with their gods to "inspect all the lands in the kingdom" through the gate.
Aramu Muru is one of the most rarely-known mystery destinations in the World. In fact, so few people know about it that there isn't even adequate infrastructure around it and on most maps you cannot even find it.
Aramu Muru is a unique stone building, a wall-like structure with a door-like thing in it. It looks like a gigantic stone door, sort of a portal that impresses with its mysterious looks. Aramu Muru resembles a gate, but its sheer size stuns even researchers. Nobody knows exactly who built it and for what purpose.
This monumental structure is older than Inca buildings. It must have been constructed by a pre-Inca civilization. Some articles on the internet claim that Aramu Muru was built by the Incas. Local Quechuans who are the descendants of Incas have stories and myths about this "gate", but that is no real proof that it were of Incan origin. The Incas also fabricated stories about Aramu Muru, but they never said they built it. We are talking about something very ancient and of uncertain origin.

Some people claim (and are very enthusiastic about this) that Aramu Muru is some sort of a "stargate", a doorway to another dimension. Some even say it was alien-made. There are some very interesting sayings, stories that circulate among the locals.
One legend tells of the time when the Spanish Conquistadors arrived in Peru, and looted gold and precious stones from the Inca tribes - and one Incan priest of the temple of the seven rays named Aramu Maru fled from his temple with a sacred golden disk known as "The key of the gods of the seven rays", and hid in the mountains of Hayu Marca. The golden disk might have been similar to the Peruvian bronze wheels described by professor Rafael Larco Hoyle in his work "Peru". The Peruvian bronze wheels are said to have resembled modern gears.
Aramu Maru eventually came upon the doorway which was being watched by shaman priests. He showed them the key of the gods and a ritual was performed with the conclusion of a magical occurrence initiated by the golden disk which opened the portal, and according to the legend blue light did emanate from a tunnel inside. The priest Aramu Maru handed the golden disk to the shaman and then passed through the portal "never to be seen again". Archaeologists have observed a small hand sized circular depression on the right hand side of the small entranceway, and have theorized that this is where a small disk could be placed and held by the rock.
The name of the gate comes from the Incan priest's name. We will never know if he fell victim to the enemy or if managed to escape. However, according to the legend he did escape. By stepping through the gate.

According to some individuals who have laid their hands on the small door, a feeling of energy flowing has been commented on, as well as strange experiences such as visions of stars, columns of fire and the sounds of unusual rhythmic music. Others have said that they have perceived tunnels on the interior of the structure, though nobody as yet has found a gap that would illustrate the door opening, on the contrary the professional opinion is that there is no actual door, for the frame and the entrance way and the back of the alcove are all carved from the same rock. It is interesting to note that the structure undeniably resembles the gate of the sun at Tiahuanaco and five other archaeological sites which link together by imaginary straight lines, a cross with the lines crossing each other exactly at the point where the plateau and lake of Titicaca is located.
News reports from the region over the last twenty years have indicated sizable UFO activity in all of these areas, especially at Lake Titicaca. Most of the reports describe glowing blue spheres and bright white disk shaped objects. The often mentioned legend concludes with a prophecy that the door of the gods will one day open "many times bigger than it actually is" and allow the gods to return in their "sun ships".

The size of the "gate" is about 7 x 7 m. It is literally carved into huge rock/cliff with peculiar diagonal lines. This is not a building, there is nothing "inside" or behind the gate. It is carved into a solid cliff. There is a hole on the Aramu Muru gate. It might resemble a key hole. According to some theorists, a person could be the key.
Locals say that the gate only opens to certain people and only at some times. It is believed that one must possess wisdom in order to be allowed to pass through the gate.
Legend has it that those who pass through will enter another World. Believers say that only special people can pass through the gate. Those who know the story of the "El Dorado" will say that the Aramu Muru myth resembles it.
The myths also say that God Meru lives behind the Aramu Muru gate, which is an entrance to his "Temple of illumination".
It is said that the gate becomes semi-transparent when the Sun sets.
Locals believe that if one steps into the "key hole" and touches the gate's frame with both palms, then visions will occur. They say that one will be able to see fire, hear melodies and see tunnels running under a mountain.
Some people affirm that they have experienced strange phenomena, some of them say they've even been past the gate, which had opened to them. Many of the locals are afraid to get close to Aramu Muru because some events in the past have frightened them.

The region here is called "The Valley of the Spirits". Aramu Muru is located north of Chucuito in southern Peru, not far of Lake Titicaca. Very few people ever come down here. Most of those who come down to this part of Peru only want to see Lake Titicaca.
The area lacks adequate tourist infrastructure. There are bad roads, no hotels, very few companies offer tours down there. You might need to ask for exact locations. If you plan to visit the gate remember that it is wise to travel there with other people. It is not advised to travel to the remote location alone.
This part of Peru is less frequented by travelers and infrastructure is poor. Aramu Muru is 35 km (21.7 mi) away from Puno. The best way to reach it is to rent or hire a car.
