Impressive magic water show in Lima – Peru.

The city of Lima has transformed an old park into what is nowadays one of the top attractions in the city: the Magic Water Circuit (Circuito Mágico del Agua).

This was for us one of the hidden gems of the city. The circuit consists of 13 illuminated fountains providing a spectacular show choreographed with water shooting from the fountains, which included folkloric and classical music.

instagramIf you are in South America I would love to see your pictures.

We spent there a couple of hours enjoying each fountain as much as we could and we actually did not have enough time to see all of the fountains.  It has as a matter of fact been awarded the world’s largest water fountain complex in a public park by the Guinness Book of World Records.

MAIN SHOW

The main show takes place at Fuente de la Fantasía, with a magical choreographed show of water, lasers, and music that will delight the public of all ages.  This show takes place thrice each night: 7:15 pm, 8:15 pm, and 9:30 pm.

Recommendations:

Try to get there early, in order to have enough time to enjoy the different fountains. We made it barely before the last one, but for us, this was not enough time as it was the last show, and then the lights were out.

If you have a SLR camera with you that day and would like to take plenty of photos from all angles and avoid it from getting wet,  get a Professional Rain Cover for Large DSLR Cameras  or you risk it getting your camera damaged.

 

What to eat

Some traditional dishes you may want to taste while you visit Peru are the causa rellena, or causa acevichada, chicha morada, aji de gallina, papa a la huancaina, and for dessert order some suspiro limeno.
