Magic Water Circuit

In addition to visiting Cusco and the Sacred Valley, our visitors checked out La Molina and the Temple (brunch with the Pres. and Sister Gillespie of the Temple and Daniel's former mission president) and Miraflores and the Malecon. This is  Daniel and Sydnee in Miraflores on the coast. The Paddington Bear statute is behind.  The Malecon in Miraflores goes on for several miles of continual parks, green spaces and trails -- all along the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. It is a favorite place for us!. 

 The night before they left we went to the Magic Water Circuit (a water park) in central Lima. This was new to us and I'm glad we went. Here are a few of the cool things.

There are pools, water slides and several splash pads, but we went in the evening, the best time to see all the water fountains and lights. This is an interesting one. It is a maze made from water and, somewhat like the maze in Harry Potter, it changes, meaning you´re not going to get out without getting wet.

This water tunnel is a little eerie to walk through.

At regular intervals they have a special show with fountains, lights and music all combined. This is a short clip.

They are also able to project images on the water. This is photo from the web. (I wasn't in the right place to get a good picture). 

It was the kind of place that kept you thinking about how much kids enjoy something as simple as water, and what magic can be created from it!  This water park was only built a few years ago, but it is now at or near  the top of all the "top things to do in Lima" lists.
