Peru: Magic Water Circuit

My mom took us to a fun spot called the Magic Water Circuit. It is a huge park with a lot of really unique fountains. Some are just for looking at, while others can be played in and walked through. After dark is when the fountains really come to life because they are all lit up and are just beautiful. They also have a light show where they project images onto one of the largest fountains and it plays along to music. I thought it was beautiful and even though it was a bit past Natalie's bedtime, there were so many neat things to look at that she didn't seem to mind.
On the way over to the park my mom mentioned how she thought it would be a great place for a wedding reception or for wedding photographs because it provides such a unique backdrop. Apparently she wasn't the only one to think so because while we were there we saw three different brides and one girl there to take pictures for her Quinceanera!
This was my favorite fountain - you get to walk through it! Natalie was fascinated by the changing colors of the water as we went through.

There were tons of kids and teenagers having a great time playing in this fountain. It would be particularly fun in the summer (though it's almost summer in Peru now, come to think of it)!

I thought this one was so fun. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland!

Here is the girl I mentioned being photographer for her Quinceanera!

This was during the show where they projected the images on the water. After this ballerina they showed a lot of dancers performing traditional dances from all over Peru.

A little blurry, but the only shot of all the girls. Thanks for taking us, Mom!
