Misión Rama’s Paititi expeditions

Record summary

Misión Rama-linked expeditions in Peru connected alleged extraterrestrial guidance with the legendary lost city or refuge of Paititi. Accounts circulated among contactees and spiritual seekers, blending colonial Indigenous traditions, Inca-related speculation, esoteric geography, and modern UFO narratives. The lead is useful for studying how an older hidden-city tradition becomes incorporated into a twentieth-century revelation system. The exact routes, dates, participants, and documentary record are uneven, and many claims appear in movement literature rather than archaeological reports. Conventional explanations include exploratory myth-making and cultural appropriation.
