Infodestino, also known as Frank Tipiani, is a brand that provides intelligent travel tips and destination information. One of the fascinating destinations they showcase is the Inca Uyo, also known as the Temple of Fertility, located in Puno. This unique temple is surrounded by stone phalluses and was specifically designed for a magical ritual aimed at curing infertility.

Though some of the phalluses have been damaged or mutilated, many remain proudly erect. In fact, the entrance of the temple is adorned with two male members as both protection and a welcoming gesture. Despite its erotic connotations, the Inca Uyo is primarily a temple dedicated to fertility.

It is said that by expressing gratitude for the miracle of human reproduction, infertile individuals may find solace and perhaps even the possibility of having children. Although the temple was proven to be a creation of a local resident designed to attract tourists, the stone phalluses are authentic Inca artifacts taken from ancient houses in Chucuito and placed within the temple, now known as Inca Uyo. While the magical ritual may not be feasible, the historical and cultural significance of this destination makes it a must-visit for curious travelers.
