We spent our last night in Lima at the Magic Water Circuit. it is unlike anything I have seen before. There are scheduled shows where the large center fountain's water dances, has colored lights on it and has laser images projected onto it. You may want to check the schedule and know the times prior to arrival. Even when the... More

This was a wonderful place to visit in the evening. It was not on our itinerary but our guide said that we should go. The fountains are amazing, all lit up with coloured lights. The show with the projection onto the water screen was absolutely amazing! This is a must visit.

Open in the evenings Wednesday to Sunday (in Reserve Park). There are 13 different fountains, from small to quite large, from fanciful to walk through, coloured, plain and with a laser light show. The sound and laser light show starts at about 7:15 and runs about 20 minutes - also at 8:15 and 9:15. The show runs at the longest... More

I´ts a great place to share the magic of water with the family. The different fountains are nicely designed and children can play in the water. There´s a water tunnel too and projections. It´s best by night to enjoy the dancing lights.

Lots and lots of water stuff (fountains, etc.) to enjoy and behold. You can walk through a tunnel of water, watch a movie in a waterfall (shown on the water) and simply enjoy all that's on display. We visited in the evening; I guess that's a good idea.

Both the best water show I've seen and the best light show I've seen. They do the show every Wednesday through Sunday night twice per night.

Whether you are travelling alone or in a group or with children, this is one show you should not miss. It is really an experience to go through the different 'water sculptures', it is visually amazing. The light show at the end of the circuit it is also something not to be missed. I recommend you stay and get a... More

The Magic Water Circuit (Circuito Magico de Agua) in the Parque de la Reserva was the most interesting and awesome thing I saw in 3 days in Lima - 13 huge water fountains, with a few doing some incredible changes. Only open Wed-Sun 3pm-11pm - visit after dark to see them lit up too.
