Aymara Route Tour Puno
A Cultural and Spiritual Journey South of Lake Titicaca
Live a unique cultural and spiritual experience along the Aymara Corridor. This journey connects you with the essence of the Aymara people, visiting pre-Inca temples, sacred portals, and colonial towns that preserve ancestral traditions.
You will explore the enigmatic Fertility Temple (Inca Uyo) in Chucuito, the mystical Aramu Muru Portal (Hayu Marca)—considered a doorway to other dimensions—and the majestic churches of Juli and Pomata, known as the "Little Rome of the Altiplano" for their colonial art.
ITINERARY
Our experience begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Puno for a scenic drive south, bordering the majestic Lake Titicaca. You will enjoy impressive Altiplano landscapes, herds of llamas, and small Aymara communities.
The first stop is Chucuito, an ancient ceremonial center home to the enigmatic Fertility Temple (Inca Uyo), famous for its stone sculptures and symbolism related to life and agriculture.
Next, we visit the Aramu Muru Portal, a mysterious rock formation carved into a stone forest. According to legend, it is a dimensional doorway used by Inca priests to access the spiritual world.
We continue to Juli, known as the "Little Rome of the Americas" for its imposing colonial churches built by Jesuit missionaries. Finally, we arrive in Pomata, a picturesque Andean village with cobblestone streets and a pink stone church offering spectacular views of Lake Titicaca.
After our visits, we return to your hotel in Puno, with a heart full of history and the energy of the Peruvian Altiplano.
