The Magic Water Circuit

Book Here!

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.
