Club entertainment in Peru

  1. A

    El Tambo Bar

    If you’re hankerin’ to shake your groove-thang, this is the most popular disco in town. Fashionable with both extranjeros (foreigners) and Peruvians, the music swings from techno-cumbia to Top 20, to salsa to reggae to most things in between – all in a space of 20 minutes. Occasional live bands also play. Although there’s no cover charge, you may want to consult your accountant before buying a round of drinks: the prices are astronomical.

    El Muki

    Just off the plaza, El Muki is a dark, intimate club with plenty of barely lit alcoves and a couples-only rule at the door (though they rarely count when a group goes in).
