Parque+de+la+Reserva

Parque de la Reserva Parque de la Reserva or the Park of the Reserve in English is a public park located between two of the most important streets in downtown Lima, Peru. The design for the park was created by French architect Claude Sahut. The project began in 1926 and was finalized in 1929 under the orders of President Augusto Leguía. The park’s name, “Parque de la Reserve”, was inspired by the last soldiers who fought in the two battles that occurred in Lima during the War of the Pacific. Today, the park is known for its magnificent Magic Water Tour which holds the world record for the largest fountain complex in the world. The complex is composed of 13 different interactive fountains that emit an array of colors at night. Though the Magic Fountain is the most famous, there are several other fountains available for viewing like the Tunnel Fountain of Surprises, the Children’s Fountain, and the Fantasia Fountain. The fountain complex is an extremely popular attraction and has been visited by millions of people since its creation in 1929.
