5 OF THE BEST PLACES FOR NIGHTLIFE IN CUSCO, PERU
Since Cusco is such a big tourist attraction and most of these tourists are young adults, you can guess that the nightlife in this city is wild.
Cusco can have the craziest parties, try hostels like Wild Rover or Loki´s Cusco. As soon as you walk in you will be greeted by people dancing on top of the bar, screaming and drinking shots among other wild and crazy things. However, the party in most backpackers ends at around 2:00am.. So, if are you not done partying, why not head over to one of the most famous nightclubs in Cusco, Chango. This club gets really hot and I mean really hot! Becuase it´s underground and it´s always packed to the brim. The party doesn´t stop until the sun comes up.
Top Clubs and Bars with free dance lessons
BARRA DE UKUKUS
This funky spot not only serves up some of the best cocktails in the city, but it also makes dancing a mandatory activity. Whether or not you know salsa, you’ll want to grab some tequila and head out long after the sun sets in order to meet some locals and foreigners looking to have a good time. There’s a reason this is the local hotspot!
La Chupiteria:
La Chupiteria offers an awesome selection of cheap and unique shots, generous staff with positive attitudes and you are guaranteed to have fun! They open every day from 6PM to 3AM
Mushrooms
Regrettably, Mushrooms is the only electronic club in Cusco. The electronic scene in Cusco is not big at all. For this reason, weekdays are pretty mellow and chilled, with a scattering of patrons. However, on select weekends they do bring in international DJs to perform and the club comes alive and the atmosphere is electrifying.
7 Angelitos
This hidden gem is perfect for those looking to find a hidden spot where locals hang out as well as curious tourists. I highly recommend the mojitos here, and there’s plenty of opportunities for dancing. It’s a bit tricky to find, so you’ll want to walk past Jack’s Cafe and turn left on Carmen Bajo, walk a little farther up and turn right again unto Calle Siete Angelitos.
LIMBUS RESTOBAR
It’s all about the cocktails at this spot overlooking the entire city. While mostly known for being a tourist joint, it’s worth climbing the stairs in the winding alleys in order to get a view, some delicious sides, and the most beautiful cocktails you’ll see in the Cusco. It’s also open for lunch, so keep your mind open and visit if you can’t make it for happy hour. view
