Overview

The Magic Water Circuit is a park featuring thirteen interactive fountains, recognized for holding the Guinness World Record for the largest fountain complex in a public park. The site utilizes a computerized system to synchronize water displays with music, choreography, and laser lights. Its centerpiece, the Fountain of Fantasy, hosts a nightly multimedia show blending water projection, music, and light. Located in the Parque de la Reserva, the grounds were originally designed by architect Claude Sahut in the 1920s to honor the soldiers who fought in the defense of Lima. The fountains utilize a recirculating water system to minimize environmental impact. Visitors can traverse through a tunnel of water within the Laberinto del Ensueño fountain. The park serves as a significant urban space in the Lima metropolitan area, bridging the historic center and the Santa Beatriz neighborhood.
