Tour overview
The Magic Water Circuit is one of Lima's favorite evening outings, for travelers and local families alike. Inside the historic Parque de la Reserva you'll find about a dozen illuminated fountains. Among them are the Magic Fountain, with a jet that shoots over 80 meters (260 ft) high, the Tunnel of Surprises, where you walk underneath the water, and the Fantasy Fountain, home to a show of water, light, lasers and music. It's a relaxed plan, perfect for your first night in Lima or for traveling with kids. Magone Viajes takes care of your transport, entrance and guide, so all you have to do is enjoy the show.
