This past week, my group and I visited one of Lima’s biggest tourist attractions, The Magic Water Circuit. The show is hidden inside a beautiful life park in the heart of Lima’s downtown, called Parque de La Reserva. The Magic Water Circuit is the largest water show in the world. Though it is possible to see the park for free, the already beautiful fountains become much more spectacular at night, when the water is synchronized to a light and music show. The show costs 4 Peruvian soles for adults, less than $1.50 in US dollars. It takes 30-45 minutes to walk through the park. One of the most popular attractions in the show is a water tunnel in the middle of the park. If you do choose to walk through the tunnel, as my group did, I will warn you that you will get a light sprinkling from falling droplets going in the streams of water above you. That didn’t deter any of us, however, as we already have plans to go back.
