Delve into the mysteries of the past as you explore the Chullpas of Molloco in Puno, an ancient burial site that holds centuries of history. These pre-Incan funerary towers, standing up to 7 meters tall, were built to honor noble figures and high-ranking members of society.

Enter the mystic realm of Aramu Muru, an enigmatic stone-carved portal shrouded in legend. Known as the “Gate of the Gods”, this mysterious site is believed to be an ancient doorway to another dimension. According to local lore, an Incan priest named Aramu Muru escaped the Spanish conquest carrying a sacred golden disk. He is said to have placed the disk into a niche in the portal, vanishing into another world, never to be seen again.

Surrounded by towering rock formations and otherworldly landscapes, Aramu Muru radiates an energy that many describe as deeply spiritual. Visitors often come here to meditate, seeking a connection to the unknown.

Whether you believe in the legend or simply appreciate the breathtaking scenery, Aramu Muru is a place where the past, nature, and mystery come together in an unforgettable experience.

Explore the remarkable Waru Waru Camellones in Puno, an ancient agricultural system that showcases the ingenuity of early Andean civilizations. These raised fields, separated by water channels, were designed to protect crops from frost, improve soil fertility, and create a natural irrigation system. Used for centuries, this technique allowed communities to grow food in the harsh high-altitude environment of the Altiplano.

As you walk through these carefully engineered landscapes, you’ll witness a sustainable farming method that still inspires modern agriculture. The Waru Waru are not just remnants of the past—they are a testament to the advanced knowledge of pre-Incan societies and their deep understanding of nature.
