Nights in Titicaca Lake
  • Tip Rating:
  • Spending a few nights in one of the islands in the Titicaca Lake is a really interesting experience. I did it in Isla del Sol (Sun Island), which is in the Bolivian side of the lake. There is no electricity there, so when the sun hides, light disappear. Some hotels have generators, but if you walk around (to go for dinner or so) it is absolutely dark. So the best thing to do is sit and hear the silence and watch up and count the stars. Sunsets are absolutely gorgeous there!

    Going out
  • Tip Rating:
  • In general, I found more nightlife in the jungle towns than in the mountains.

    In Lima the best places for nightlife are Miraflores and Barranco areas.
    Cuzco has a lively night too (though cold) as there are many foreign tourits there, specially around Plaza de Armas.
    In Iquitos you will find animation and people along the riverside and by Plaza de Armas.

    Tarantulas after dark: Critters of the night
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you are in the mood, your jungle guide will take you out after dinner to find bats and insects.

    Here is a beautiful tarantula, eating another bug, which we found underneath a wooden structure.

    It was all very comical, since we were all wearing plastic ponchos.

    The two kissy kissy French travelers on the same outing were saying "C'est très Blair Witch!"

    Peñas, Salsodromos,, Discos
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are several possibilities to pass a night dancing in Peru. In the main cities there are of course common discos like everywhere else, but there are as well some special places to dance sepecially latin music and dance Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia or Bachata. Besides there are also places and these especially in more rural regions where the traditional peruvian dances are usual, these are e.g. "La Marinera" or "el tondero". "la cueca" or "la Diablada", some of them are also folcorical dances especially of carnical time.

    Illuminated jewel city of Incas and Spain: Gorgeous Nighttime Cuzco
  • Tip Rating:
  • Cuzco is spectacular during the day, but after dusk, it becomes magical. The Inca walls and the Spanish monuments are magnificently illuminated.

    You will walk around and drink in those sights until you collapse in your hotel.

    Cusco Center of Native Arts: Get a glimpse of traditional music and dances
  • Tip Rating:
  • Real orchestra, large group of folkloric dancers performs show almost every evenings. The price was very low and I was impressed by the quality of the show.

    Buy the guide at the entrance as it give an overview of the different dances that will be performed.

    No requirement for clothing but jeans and shirts would not be a wise choice.
