Huaca Pucllana
The Archaeological Complex "Huaca Pucllana" was an Administrative and Ceremonial Center of the Lima Culture, asociety that developed at the Peruvian Central Coast between 200 AD and 700 AD.
This is adobe ceremonial center was likely built around 500 A.D. during the culrural hight of Lima´s history. Much of the site has been restored and excavation continue to uncover artifacts and the occasional mummy.
The Huaca Pucllana was described and studied by travelers and explorers since the 19th century. The real professional investigations only started in the middle of the 20th century when the top of the pyramid was exposed. In 1981 permanent works on the archaeological complex including excavations and conservation revealed the importance of the "Huaca Pucllana". The "Instituto Nacional de Cultura" (Peruvian Cultural Institute) and the "Municipalidad de Miraflores" (Municipality of Miraflores) signed an agreement in 1991 that allowed the "Huaca Pucllana" to become a historical and cultural park.
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.

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.
