]]>Safely tucked away in the heart of Lima’s Parque de la Reserva, Magic Water Circuit was first introduced in 2007. There are currently 13 fountains that form this place, which holds the world record for the largest fountain complex in the world.
All the fountains are unique in their own right and many of them happen to be interactive. It’s especially fun to visit them at night when they’ll light up, making the experience even more magical.
(@limabywalking)Magic Fountain, Fantasy Fountain, Rainbow Fountain, and Harmony Fountain are only some of many attractions that you’ll stumble upon during your visit. Several ornamental fountains are also scattered around Parque de la Reserva, giving this park a classic and historical feel.
Magic Water Circuit can be visited throughout the day, but it’s much better to check it out in the evening. Fountains look more magical once they light up, and there are fun multimedia shows taking place between 7:10 pm and 9:10 pm worth checking out.

Peru’s second most populated city offers a little bit of something to everyone. Architecture enthusiasts will be wowed by its baroque buildings, while nature lovers won’t be able to resist exploring the volcanoes in its surroundings.
Trujillo
Trujillo is often described as Peru’s cultural capital. It’s the birthplace of the popular traditional dance marinera and home to countless cultural events throughout the year.
Cusco
Despite its relatively tiny size in comparison to some other cities in Peru, Cusco is one of its must-see attractions thanks to its rich history. Many ancient sites can be found on its grounds since it once served as the capital of the Inca Empire.
Ica
Fans of architecture will find appreciation for Ica’s religious buildings, but this isn’t the reason why most people visit it. This city became a major tourist attraction thanks to its close proximity to Huacachina, a tiny village built around an oasis with the natural desert lake.
