The Gold Museum houses the largest collection of Gold of Peru, showing unique pieces representing animals, birds, human beings and ancient gods. The Museum also has on displays ancient weapons not only from Peru but from other parts of the world, as well as large rooms containing dozen of textiles from different cultures dating back to 200 BC. Here visitors will get, without a doubt a deep insight into Peruvian history, learning and watching genuine relics that will leave anyone speechless. At the surroundings of the Museum visitors can find interesting shops offering a great variety of handicrafts, jewelry, textiles and all kind of Peruvian souvenirs. 








The museums "Gold of Peru" and "Weapons of the World" were founded by Miguel Mujica Gallo in 1968. In both museums are more than 25,000 pieces exhibited. Inside the gardens that surround the museums is a boulevard of craft stores, jeweller’s, textile vendors and Peruvian souvenir shops. The Museum "Weapons of the World" exhibits more than 20,000 pieces from all over the world, including various weapons, horse mountings, uniforms, etc.






The Church and Convent of San Francisco is besides the Cathedral of Lima probably the most significant religious complex in Lima. The church with the impressive main portal, the affiliated convent and the two churches of "El Milagro" and "La Soledad" form together the most successful and impressive monument of Colonial architecture in whole Latin America. Definitely the absolute highlight of the tour is the descent into the convents catacombs that served until 1808 as a burial ground. An estimated 30,000 deceased are buried here.





Most people go to San Francisco, however, for its catacombs. The catacombs were actually part of Lima's original cemeteries, which were built under churches. Tour guides say an estimated 75,000 bodies are buried under San Francisco alone, and many of the remains are exposed, stacked in strange patterns in circular stone pits. A catacomb tour is not for the squeamish or the claustrophobic.




The Magic Water Circuit






In May 2007 a water and light show called the Circuito Magico del Agua (The Magic Water Circuit) was inaugurated. The Magic Water Circuit has the Guinness Book record for the largest fountain complex in the world, displaying 13 distinct fountains and many are interactive. All of the fountains are illuminated at night, many with continuously changing color schemes. A colorful laser light program synchronized with classical and Peruvian music makes the fountains sparkle and shine as the water flows in unique patterns and shapes.







The Parque de la Reserva was originally opened in 1929 to commemorate all the civilian reservists who fought in the defence of Lima during the War of the Pacific. But more than 65 years later Parque de la Reserva became one of Lima's most visited tourist attractions.


Getting Wet in Lima’s Fountains


Not all the fountains are of the simple stop and stare variety, a few of them are interactive.

The cupila Visitable breaks you in slowly, giving you the opportunity to walk beneath a flowing dome of jects. The Tunel d elas Sorpresas is 38-yard walkway through a tunnel of water.

The real star of the show in terms of sheer fun is the ever-polar Laberinto del Ensueño. Getting to the center of the "meze" is more a matter of timing than navigation; a mistaimed stride can land you right on top of a suddenly spewing jet of water.



Fuente de la Fantasía Water Show

The park’s showpiece fountain is the Fuente de la Fantasía (Fantasia Fountain). Each night, the 130-yard-long fountain bursts into life with a choreographed show of water, lasers and music. The show takes place three times a night, beginning at 7:15 pm, 8:15 pm and 9:30 pm. It’s a good way to end your stroll through Lima’s charming Magic Water Circuit.
