Lima’s Circuito Mágico del Agua features 13 fountains, all of which are illuminated. Some of the fountains have interactive elements, so prepare to get wet. If you enter from the Avenida Arequipa side of the park, you’ll arrive at each fountain in roughly the following order:
- Fuente del Arco Iris (Rainbow Fountain): A series of parallel fountains of different heights, giving the impression of a rainbow
- Fuente de la Armonía (Fountain of Harmony): A pyramid whose sides are formed by jets of water, giving the impression of a solid structure
- Fuente Tangüis (Tangüis Fountain): A magical garden with fountains in the shape of flowers, named after Fermín Tangüis (1851 to 1930), a Puerto Rican agriculturist who developed a seed that saved Peru’s cotton industry
- Cúpula Visitable (Walk-in Dome): Jets of water shoot upwards and inwards to form a dome, beneath which you can walk without getting wet -- unless someone places a hand or foot in the flow, spraying water everywhere
- Fuente de la Ilusión: (Fountain of the Illusion): An elegant fountain with streams of water that could be going one way or another, and multicolored clouds of spray; located next to the statue of Antonio José de Sucre
- Túnel de las Sorpresas (Tunnel of Surprises): A series of water arcs that creates a 38 yard (35 m) long tunnel of water through which you can walk
- Laberinto del Ensueño (Maze of the Dream): Don’t let the dreamy name fool you: this is where all the action takes place. Can you make your way to the center of the circle, through the vertical walls of water that suddenly subside before shooting upwards? There’s a good chance you’ll get wet, so put your camera and cash in a plastic bag. Great fun!
- Fuente de la Vida (Fountain of Life): A spiralling central structure from which various fountains emerge
- Fuente de los Niños (Fountain of the Children): Various fountains emerge randomly from an illuminated grid
- Fuente de las Tradiciones (Fountain of Traditions): A previously existing fountain, modernized but incorporating traditional sculptures
- Río de los Deseos (River of Wishes): A lengthy waterway with fountains along its course
- Fuente Mágica (Magic Fountain): The park’s largest and most powerful fountain, shooting a vertical jet of water more than 87 yards (80 m) into the air
- Fuente de la Fantasía (Fantasia Fountain): The 130-yard-long Fuente de la Fantasía is the park’s showpiece fountain; each night, at 7:15 pm, 8:15 pm and 9:30 pm, the fountain is used for a choreographed laser, water and music show
