Experience a sensory spectacle at Parque de la Reserva’s El Circuito Mágico del Agua (circuitomagicodelagua.com.pe; S7), featuring 13 illuminated fountains that delight even the most-hardened travel cynics.
While the park is free to explore by day, it comes alive after sunset with colorful light shows, romantic walkways and the famous mist-filled water tunnel (nightly shows at 7:15pm, 8:15pm and 9:30pm). The experience culminates at the 120m-long Fuente de la Fantasía, where nightly laser shows set to a medley of Peruvian waltzes and global pop depict the nation’s history through dramatic projections on moving water.
With added family-friendly activities like a miniature train and bouncy houses, it is a perfect evening outing – just be sure to account for rush-hour traffic when planning your arrival.
