The Lima municipal government has transformed a dusty park on the edge of the downtown area into a delightful tour of dancing water and lights — more than a dozen fountains send water shooting into the air, choreographed to music and light. The Magic Water Circuit (Circuito Mágico del Agua) is the city's newest attraction, and locals and tourists agree it's surprisingly awesome. Check it out for yourself. The fountains are open Wednesday through Sunday, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., but go after the sun has set to see the light show; admission is $1.50.
