Peru - Spectacular Magic Water Circuit in Lima

Since our time was limited in Lima, we chose our time wisely and decided to do something fun with kids by visiting Lima’s Circuito Mágico del Agua (Magic Water Circuit). The Magic Water Circuit was opened in 2007 and built on a historic 19-acre park. It has 13 illuminated fountains and was made into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest water fountain complex in a public park.

12 years since Magic Water Circuit was opened

We arrived at the Magic Water Circuit around 6 P.M. and started with the Magic Fountain. We then made our way to the other 12 fountains. Each fountain was unique with different shapes, colors and music. Our favorite fountain was the “Tunnel of Surprises” as it was fun to walk under the water arches. We ended our stroll with the water and laser light show at the Fantasia Fountain. The water was dancing to music and the laser took the audience on a virtual tour of Peru. It was a spectacular show that we all enjoyed watching. Overall, we had a wonderful time seeing all the fountains illuminated with continuously changing color schemes.
