How do I ask for water with bubbles in Peru?

A friend in Peru said they will ask 'do you want water with bubbles or natural', but sometimes they don't. I would like to know how to differentiate correctly.

"Agua con burbujas" sounds very funny. You can say "Agua mineral" or "Agua carbonatada." For natural water, simply "Agua" or "Agua purificada" if you're concerned about the cleanliness of the water.

pues eso queria decir, pero agua mineral es lo que es agua normal, de botella...pero con gas es de burbujas... - 00494d19, Jan 23, 2011
Sí, es de burbújas pero no se dice. Se dice con gas o sin gas (ambas son minerales). El agua natural no tiene proceso de mineralización. - gone, Jan 23, 2011
