Peru · MAGIC WATER CIRCUIT
Good magic water circuit tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 14 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride from Miraflores, Barranco, or San Isidro to Lima’s Magic Water Circuit for a guided evening walk through its fountains. Guides such as Pamela, Mabel, and César explain the park and Peru’s past before the Fantasy Fountain show. Transport, admission, and return hotel drop-off are included.
“A lovely park with an amazing Magic Water Circuit light show - not an activity to be missed.”
Meet at 5:00 pm for a roughly three-hour Lima evening tour to the Magic Water Circuit. A bilingual English-Spanish guide such as Rubi leads your small group through colorful fountains, music, and light shows. Transport, admission, taxes, and a sweet local snack may be included.
“Rubi was a wonderful guide so knowledgeable and great English. The water park is great fun and beautiful with lots to do for every age. Rubi bought a light dessert of local donut and honey. We enjoyed the night and Rubi's company”
Visit Lima’s Magic Water Circuit with a professional guide, air-conditioned transport, and admission included. Walk among 13 illuminated fountains, learn about Peruvian culture, and watch the main laser and water show. Guides such as JJ, Mauricio, Paola, and Maverick help you handle the crowds and find good viewing spots.
“Large lovely park with a dozen different fountains and lots going on. This is a great stop for families with kids. It’s very pretty at night when everything is lit up. Rau’l our guide was very accommodating and informative. He gave us a lovely evening.”
Travel by air-conditioned minivan from your Lima hotel to the Larco Museum, a colonial mansion filled with ancient Peruvian ceramics and jewelry. A guide such as Victor, Gabriela, or Maria del Carmen adds context before a tavern stop for a snack and pisco sour, followed by Lima’s spectacular Magic Water Circuit.
“The guide was very knowledgable at the museum. The light show was very disappointing. I booked the tour for the interest in the light show. You could do the light show on your own for only 2 soles. If you are looking for an English guide, be aware that they are usually small groups or by yourself. I was by myself on this tour - could be why I didn't enjoy it.”
This 11-hour Lima tour combines Miraflores, Huaca Pucllana, Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral, Santo Domingo Convent, Larco Museum, a seaside buffet, pisco sour, and the Magic Water Circuit. A bilingual guide, hotel transport, lunch, and snacks are included. Guides may include Ursula, Gabriella, or Victor.
“We liked Larco museum and water show. The city tour was so-so.”
Meet your guide at your San Isidro, Miraflores, or Barranco hotel at 6:00 PM for a private evening at Lima’s Magic Water Circuit. Expect Guinness record fountains, holograms, lasers, and cultural storytelling. Guides may include Jordan, praised for clear, engaging explanations.
“We were a group of 5 and Jordan was an amazing tour guide. He was enthusiastic, so knowledgeable, so friendly and helpful. Excellent communication right from booking through to after the tour. He shared so much about Peruvian culture, history, food and so much more. Transportation was wonderful as well.”
Spend five hours touring Lima’s Magic Water Circuit, where fountains, music, lasers, and water projections create the main event. Then enjoy a Peruvian dinner in a 100-year-old republican house museum. Pickup is included from Miraflores and San Isidro, with guides in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
“El Circuito Mágico del Agua tiene un show de las fuentes que dura 15 mins. No se pudo esperar ya que el restaurante con show folclórico queda distante y había que salir antes. Desconocía ese detalle y separó la actividad para disfrutar de todo. Se me indicó ese detalle el mismo día. El Circuito, cena y show folclórico valen la pena.”
Spend about four hours with a guide exploring Lima’s Main Square, San Martín Square, Union Street, the San Francisco catacombs, and the Magic Water Show. Small groups, included catacomb and fountain admission, and provided transport make this a handy first look at Lima.
“Klaudia was a wonderful guide. We saw many sights and received lots of information. She was very knowledgeable and shared information about the places and country.”
See Lima after dark with a private guide and driver, visiting the illuminated Plaza San Martín, Plaza de Armas, Cathedral, Government Palace, and City Hall before the Magic Water Circuit. Guides such as Carlos, Kaitos, and Juan Carlos have led past departures, with flexible timing and hotel pickup from Miraflores, San Isidro, or Barranco.
“Plaza de Armas at night is beautiful! The water fountains were so pretty, as well as the water show! Krisna and Juan Carlos were great. Traffic was TERRIBLE and there are no rules to driving in Lima so pack extra undies.”
Spend an evening at Lima’s Magic Water Circuit, where fountains, lasers, and music tell a visual story, then eat Peruvian dishes in a historic house museum. Hotel pickup covers central Lima, Miraflores, and San Isidro. English, Spanish, and Portuguese guides are available, with the tour limited to 40 people.
“Negative- we got picked up very late so when we were visiting the water park, we were rushed through and didn’t get as much time or pictures as we liked. We were very late to dinner and caught the last few dances. The food at the buffet was average. Positives- the tour guide was friendly, politely rushing us. the water show and park was amazing, def a must do. The dances that we caught were interesting.. im not sure how “Peruvian” they actually are or authentic, but it was entertaining to say the least. The horse show was very interesting and cool to see how they drove the horses.”
Spend four hours with a local chef and guide in Lima’s historic center, preparing ceviche and pisco sours before visiting the Magic Water Circuit. Guides such as José, Roxanna, and M.P. add local context, while small groups allow you to take part rather than simply watch.
“Our tour guide, M.P. was excellent! He was very knowledgeable about Lima culture and history as well as friendly and spoke good English. The walking tour around downtown was very comprehensive. The Pisco Sour and Ceviche cooking class was very fun and the chef was also great! We were escorted directly from our hotel and back. Everyone was very friendly and made our experience that much more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this tour!”
Travel from Barranco with an English-speaking guide to Lima’s Magic Water Circuit, then continue to a dinner show with Peruvian food, regional dances, and Peruvian Paso horses. The small group is limited to 10 people. Guide Manuel has earned praise for making the evening enjoyable, while the horse show and restaurant may change.
