El Parque de Las Aguas (the park of the waters) was built a few years ago and is made up of 15 fountains of different size and shape. Sound kind of boring? Well, these aren't just any old fountains meant to look pretty and admire from a distance. They are interactive fountains where guests are encouraged to take part in the aquatic action.
Seconds after this picture was taken I deservedly got a splash of water right in the mouth and the fact that I swallowed some of it and lived to tell the story says a lot about the the strength of the human immune system.
The next set of pictures feature my favorite fountain. It consisted of various rings of water each of which would periodically and unexpectedly shoot off with the intention of drenching those adventurous enough to try to make it all the way to the middle of the circle (where you could safely stand and remain dry.)
The quality of the photos isn't great (taken from friend Andrea's Blackberry) but I think you'll get the idea.
The highlight of the night came as I was nervously hesitating to make the leap past the first ring. A very nice Peruvian lady there with her children observed my reluctance and as soon as it seemed safe to make the jump (to her at least) she turned to me smiling and yelled out "Corre Gringo, corre!! (Translated as something like "Now's your chance Gringo, go for it!")
I didn't think twice and went for it...and made it through dry as a bone! That was until the next ring, and the one after that, and the last one all of which soaked me.
Great fun indeed!
