See Lima’s Magic Water Circuit fountain show and eat a Peruvian dinner in a 100-year-old house museum, Thu only.
“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.”
Guinness-listed Magic Water Circuit in Lima, a historic house museum stop, and a Peruvian dinner with drinks, plus round-trip transport.
“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.”

From Callao Port, tour central Lima, see San Francisco catacombs, enjoy dinner, then watch Magic Water Circuit fountains at night.
“We had a great time touring the city of Lima! We had a 14hr layover which was the perfect amount of time to fit this in. You could even get away with a shorter layover and still make it work as the host is very accommodating of your schedule. I would rank this tour in my top 3 all time favorite tours through Viator, especially thanks to our guide, JJ! He is very knowledgeable about the city/country’s cultural, political, and religious background, and we were able to learn and experience a lot in the time we had with him. Touring the catacombs was definitely a highlight, and JJ provided really…”
Dune buggy and sandboarding in Ica, sunset at Huacachina, then a grill dinner with cocktails and wine in the dunes.
“What an amazing experience. Pablo was our driver for the sand buggy and he was so good. The ride was so much fun and we also did sand boarding and sand tubing. We’ve never experienced anything like this and we loved it. After we had a beautiful desert dinner the set up was gorgeous and the food was awesome. Definitely recommend!!! A must do!!!”
