Circuito Mágico del Agua

Overview

The Circuito Mágico del Agua (Magic Water Circuit) holds the Guinness World Record for the world's largest fountain complex in a public park. Located within the Parque de la Reserva, its 13 imaginatively designed fountains combine water, light, and music in spectacular evening shows.

Highlights

• Fuente de la Fantasía: The centerpiece fountain projects water jets up to 80 meters high, synchronized with light shows and classical music.
• Tunnel of Surprises: A walkway through arching water jets that kids (and adults) love to dodge.
• Fuente de los Niños: An interactive children's fountain where visitors can play in the water.

History

Inaugurated in 2007 during the administration of Mayor Luis Castañeda, the circuit was designed to revitalize the historic 1929 Parque de la Reserva. It entered the Guinness Book of World Records in 2009 and has become one of Lima's most visited attractions.

Visitor Tips

• Evening Visit: The light-and-sound shows run after dark — arrive by 7 PM for the best experience.
• Bring a Change of Clothes: Some fountains are interactive and you will get wet.
• Duration: 1–1.5 hours.
