Magic Water Circuit Lima Night Tour: Double-Decker Bus

Watch Lima's fountains light up from the upper deck of a moving bus.

A three-hour night tour of Lima combines a panoramic double-decker bus ride through Miraflores and San Isidro with guided entry to the Magic Water Circuit light show. You board at Kennedy Park or Larcomar in Miraflores, pass the illuminated Huaca Pucllana, then spend time at the fountains with your guide before returning by 9:30 p.m. Admission and a bilingual guide are included.

The experience

The tour starts with pickup at Kennedy Park or Larcomar at 6 p.m., then climbs aboard a modern double-decker bus where the upper level gives you an unobstructed view of Lima's night landscape. As the bus moves through Miraflores and San Isidro, you see the Huaca Pucllana lit up against the city skyline: a pre-Incan pyramid that sits in the middle of the modern district. The route itself is part of the experience. The height and the glass let you see the avenues and neighborhoods without the street-level noise.

Once at the Magic Water Circuit, your expert bilingual guide walks you through the park's fountains and explains what you're watching. The main water and light show is the centerpiece (choreographed jets and colored lights synchronized to music), but the guide helps you understand the smaller fountains and the design of the space. You're not rushed. The guide makes sure you catch the full show and don't miss the details.

The return trip leaves the park at 9:20 p.m., dropping you back at Larcomar by 9:30 p.m. or Kennedy Park shortly after. WiFi is available on the bus, and the whole route is wheelchair accessible. The tour works for families with infants (who sit on a lap) and for anyone who wants to see Lima's night side without driving or navigating on their own.

What’s included

• Admission to the Magic Water Circuit.
• a professional bilingual guide for the entire visit.
