I had heard so many amazing things about the light show and it did not disappoint. Not to be missed is the Fuente de La Fantasia – a 120-metre-long water and laser fountain show accompanied by beautiful Peruvian music. Another fun fountain is the maze – making it to the centre without getting soaked is almost impossible but it’s definitely a lot of fun and will put a smile on your face. I loved strolling through the park, admiring the fountains and getting wet by running through a magic water tunnel. The best time to visit the park is after dawn when the fountains start to lit up and the light shows kick off every hour. The beautiful water circuit is made up of 13 illuminated fountains spread across the amazing 19-acre park and is one if Lima’s top tourist attractions.
One of the highlights of my time in Peru was the water and light show called Circuito Magico del Agua (The Magic Water Circuit) located within the Parque de La Reserva in downtown Lima. As well as the light show, there are also exhibitions by local artists from Berlin and around Germany, live music performances, and plenty of traditional and hearty German street food. The light shows take place each evening, starting from 7 pm and lasting until around midnight. As an example, the Fernsehturm, which is known locally as the the Telespargel (Tele Aspragus) is often lit up in green to look like asparagus. It’s also a chance to see some references to local German humour. Some of the monuments and buildings that are regularly part of the display include the Brandenburg Gate, the Fernsehturm, Berlin Cathedral, the Reichstag, Tempelhof Airport, and the Berlin Victory Column. During that time, iconic buildings around Berlin are lit up with light projections, 3D imagery, and video mapping. The event, which has been running since 2005, takes place over the course of ten days throughout October. It’s one of the largest light shows in Europe, and its growing to be one of the largest around the world. Waterlicht has been used in the past to reflect the water levels reached by Superstorm Sandy, which devastated parts of New York City and New Jersey in October 2012 and contributed to the deaths of 43 people.The Berlin Festival of Lights is without doubt one of the best light shows that I’ve been to around the world. Roosegaarde admits it can be a bit scary, but said, "I hope it makes people curious about the future world in which we're not scared of the water, but actually trying to learn from it and trying to live with it in a new way." Al Roker speaks with Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde at the 'Waterlicht' installation at Columbia University. Dubbed by Roosegaarde as "the northern light of the Netherlands," the Waterlicht installation is designed to create the impression of being flooded and will debut Tuesday evening and remain for three nights at Columbia's campus in New York City. "It feels like when you're a kid and go into the pool and hold your breath, and you look up and everything feels so quiet and peaceful," she said.īut that serene feeling has a larger meaning.
Charlotte Munson, a junior at Columbia, recently experienced the lights by lying down and looking up.
