The door of Aramu muru has a square shape, 7 meters on each side, carved into the red sandstone rock, on whose lower side (center), there is a kind of door carved with eight angles, and on the sides there are two depressions of great height similar like inverted columns.
To date, no archaeological study has been carried out que pueda revelar la fecha de cuando los primeros pobladores empezaron a considerar sagrado y de peregrinación este lugar, sin embargo, se tiene en conocimiento que las culturas pukaras, lupacas e incas estuvieron por este lugar.
Some Residents know this place as “Devil’s portal”, since, upon the arrival of the Spaniards, they considered it a place of Andean pilgrimagewhich went against Christian traditions and so that people do not adore it anymore. The reason was Spaniards wanted to generate fear, that’s why they called it “the door of the devil”; however, the origin is somewhat more spiritual, dating back to pre-Inca times.
Nowadays, many visitors who come to this place usually put into practice a curious ritual: a person kneels in front of the portal with outstretched hands and two other people stand on the sides, inside the inverted columns, in order to that the person located in the portal concentrates the energy coming from the columns and can have supernatural experiences.
The Legend of Aramu Muru, Willka Uta or Hayu Marca
There is a legend about Aramu Muru, which tells that in the 16th century, when the Spaniards arrived at Tahuantinsuyo, an Inca priest named Aramu Muru (who belonged to the monastery or community of the seven rays) escaped from the conquerors and arrived at this portal carrying with him the so-called solar disk that until then was kept in the Qorikancha (The greatest temple dedicated to God Sun) of Cusco, an invaluable treasure with powerful healing abilities for the Incas. According to the story, the priests used this disc as a sort ofinterdimensional keywith which they managed to cross the stone wall and thus disappear from this world, taking this sacred object with them.
The locals say that Aramu Muru is the entrance to the “Temple of Illumination of the Meru Gods” or “Hayu Marca” which means city of the spirits, and they tell strange stories about this door, such as that some afternoons it becomes semi-transparent allowing a glimpse of an illuminated city.
On the other hand, it has been proven that the electromagnetic field at this point is unstable, which is why the energies and temperatures are also unstable at this point. For all this, some people also call the Aramu Muru an “interstellar portal” or a wormhole.
There is also another story that comes from the year 1974, where a member of a music band managed to “go through” the door and never came back. This was told by the rest of the band that was stunned by the event.
