Raqchi Wiracocha Temple & Mysterious Doorway of Aramu Muru

Raqchi Wiracocha Temple & Mysterious Doorway of Aramu Muru.
Raqchi also known as the Temple of Wiracocha is an enormous rectangular two-story roofed structure that measures 92 metres (302 ft) by 25.5 metres (84 ft). Prior to its destruction by the Spaniards, the temple had what is believed to be the largest single roof in the Incan Empire, having its peak at the central wall, then stretching over the columns and some 25 metres (82 ft) beyond on each side. The huge proportions of the temple, and its prominence on the site explain why the whole complex is also sometimes referred to as the Temple of Wiracocha.

The Spanish soldier and explorer, Pedro de Cieza de Léon, who wrote the Chronicles of the Incas in 1540, recorded in "the tradition of the people" that the shrine was built after the appearance at Raqchi of a man who began performing miracles Then for some reason, the village inhabitants decided to stone him to death; but when going in search of the very strange man, they found him, knelt with his arms extended skyward, and immediately afterwards a fire rain fell from the sky.

Thus, the very remorseful local village men set him free. Then, the strange man left toward the coast and became submerged into the ocean waters disappearing forever. Concerning the fire rain, it is possible that it referred to an eruption of the presently extinguished volcano "Kinsach'ata" located nearby. There is a large quantity of volcanic rock surrounding the area.


Located in the remote mountain region of southern Peru is a mysterious place revered by local Peruvians as 'The Place of the Gods'. Known as the Doorway of Aramu Muru, it stands near the border with Bolivia on Lake Titicaca where Inca legend says life was first created on Earth. The doorway is purported to be a passageway to another dimension. Locals have claimed that people have dissappeared and reappeared near the door. Many refuse to get close to the door claiming it to be a portal for the ancient gods. Are you really prepared to go where this doorway takes you?
