Pomata Lookout
The first stop is at Pomata lookout. This is the high pass between Puno and Kasani ideal to admire how huge is the Lake and the magnificent views to the Island of the Sun and snow peaks.
Aramu Muru Doorway
It’s located 1 hr drive away from Pomata lookout. You’ll see and marvel the low relieve stone carving and strange huge portal facing to east. Entrance fee should be paid in person at the site (PEN 5 per person)
Aramu Muru Portal is a rock that had been smoothed to a flat surface and adorned with a small alcove.
The flat stone is roughly 23-feet square, with a T-shaped alcove some 6 feet, 6 inches tall carved into it. The most likely explanation is that it was an abandoned Incan construction project.
Locals are said to call the doorway the “Puerta de Hayu Marca,” or “Gate of the Gods,” and local legends apparently speak of people disappearing through the doorway as well as of strange sights, such as “tall men accompanied by glowing balls of lights walking through the doorway.”
Chucuito Temple of Fertility
Your last optional stop is at Chucuito, 20 minutes away from Puno. Upon arrival, just pay your entry ticket (PEN 8 per person) and take a look inside the Inca Temple of Fertility ever built before.
Just let us know the name of your hotel or accommodation in Puno city for the drop-off.
