It is a funny place, good gardening, a lot of fancy and artistic water games, either to get in or just to enjoy watching. Good place for the summer, I would stay away in the winter because of the high humidity

My first visit to this park was the most wonderful experience. The beautiful water fountains simply live you "out of breath". The dancing water show with pictures (on the water) showing beautiful sites and dances is astonishing. The water tunnel was amazing. everything there is just breathtaking. No one should miss this!!! I really recommend it!!

Was told about this park by a ladie that sold us a fruit slurpee type refreshment at Park Amor. We went on our own by taxi, it was only 4 Soles to enter. We went at 9PM and felt very safe, lots of people there. Apparently it is place where families like to take pictures of their daughters in their... More

Beautiful, unique and wholesome for the whole family, definitely a go. Very clean place too, imagine Bellagio Las Vegas five times better and at least ten times more fountains. Light and water show lasts about 10-15 minutes every hour. Going with private tour so not sure how easy finding transport for the way back.

Magic Water Circuit also known as Parque de Ajuas to the locals is something you must visit if you're in Lima. They have shows late at night, which consist of twirling water streams, lights and projected pictures that you can see on the water. There are smaller water gardens which are similar to spash pads. Local kids like to make... More

Just a bunch of fountains. Only one or two actually do "dance." I'd skip this if you have limited time in Lima, there's better stuff to see and do.

The Magic Water Circuit is very recommendable. it is true, as others have mentioned, that there are crowds of people. However, it is worth it. You need to go wearing very casual clothes and preferably no jewellery, due to the number of people it is very easy not to notice the PICKPOCKETS. Just take a camera...The show starts around 7pm...

It wasn't in my agenda until I talked to other travelers while I am in Lima. We reached the park at 5:30pm when the sun is setting. There are about 10 different water fountains each have unique music and lights. It is just magical when the lights was turned on at night. It is worth taking a taxi to the... More

Park with 14 different fountains that change colors at night in a show of lights. One of them displayed holograms with folk dances, another was a tunnel which you could walk under. We took a Mirabus night tour for 65 soles (about 25 US dollars) which included the Historical Center and Miraflores highlights, but if you just want to go... More
