Mama Africa Disco   Cusco

Mama Africa Disco, Cusco

 8 Reviews  I have visited the several locations of Mama Africa (moved several times) and it definitely isn't my cup of tea. It wasn't in the past and it won't be in the future. Large crowds of backpackers,...

by montxito

Peñas and Salsódromos Peru is very rich culturally, in dance, music and tradition. Las Peñas are folk clubs where one can have a great time to the rhythms of criolla (creole) or traditional music. Lima has several Peñas such as the well-known Sachún in the Magdalena district, Brisas del Titicaca in the Downtown, La Candelaria in the Barranco district and El Eslabón in San Borja, where they also stage Folkloric Ballets like Así es mi Perú (That's my Peru), as well as some more touristy places such as Manos Morenas, which also has a restaurant and is situated in Barranco.Bars, Clubs and Discotheques Miraflores is a great choice to have a good time. El Parque Central was rebuilt in the early '90s and since then has become the ideal place to go for a stroll. The park has an amphitheater where you can enjoy free shows, which start in the early afternoons, and may be music, theater, mime or...

'Ukukus' Pub & bar', 'Mama Africa' (Cusco): Night Clubs

by Srechko

Cusco:Cusco offers many bars and clubs. Most of them have live music, happy hours and free drinks. There is no cover charge for any of them and drinks are fairly cheap. You can catch some locals (or they will catch you) advertising many clubs right on the street.'Ukukus' Pub & bar, location close to Plaza - 316 Plateros. Live latin techno band, and a small dance stage. 'Mama Africa' pub & bar, close to Plaza as well. Saturday night was packed, and it is a very western oriented place.Aguas Calientes:Night life not existent. Only entertainment provided by dogs, who run around all night and escort you wherever you go - free of charge!

CUZCO: The Kings Cross pub. The owner collects liquor from all around the world and is very proud of his collection. He let me have a glass of his 'Sonnema Beerenburg', because he could see I missed it. Kamikaze Bar a definite Gringo place, but I had a marvellous time there...

by warlord

Be sure to see the Restaurant section above and check out my article 'The Dancing Gringo'. In LimaMiraflores had a kicking nighlife that goes on until the wee hours of the morning. The bars and restaurants centered together are fairly safe during the night. As much as people say they hate Lima, I found it one of my favorite South American capitals and had a damn good time there. In Cusco be sure to head out to Ukuku's Bar as well as the others centered around the Plaza de Armas blasting rock, reggae, and dance music till the sun comes up. And, when leaving be sure to take a taxi back home. Do not walk the streets alone at night! In Iquitos be sure to hook up with some locals and drink Amazonian moonshine. There are not so many clubs in the junlge city, but the locals are always have parties on the little side streets along the river and I was always welcomed.In Puno don't miss the El...

by gembo

ARNOLD'S DRIVE-IN DISCOTEQUE!!!!!!!!Yes, it really is what it syas it is. The locals drive in, park their cars then go for a dance in the middle of the car park (I kid you not), get drunk, and drive home. A real experience to be had. Ask one of the young locals where to find it.

el tambo, huaraz: el tambo, huaraz

by katie-lou

a lovely mix of gringoes and locals. the night starts with a traditional dancing show most nights, then goes on to a good mix of salsa and british pop. check out the llungoluca cocktails if youve just been to the llungoluca lake! travelling chic..hiking boots and fleece if you like, or you could put on your last clean top if you really fancy getting dressed up!

by DaveOrlando

Cuzco has many pubs and internet cafes to keep you in good spirits. On one night I sat at the bar in a restaurant on the plaza (I can't remember the name) and ordered alpaca accompanied by Peruvian wine. The alpaca steak was thin with very little fat (hence it was healthy but not very tender) and it tasted like beef (not chicken!). The Peruvian wine was OK but they have a ways to go to catch Chile in that department. I also sampled 'chicha', the local corn brew that has been around for centuries, and that was a thick concoction of fermented corn (an acquired taste to be sure). Somehow I managed to avoid the local delicacy of guinea pig, but I think I'll survive nonetheless. This photo is of a horse we saw while hiking the trail, and while it has nothing to do with nightlife, I like the picture!

by AroundWorld

Las 'Penas Criollas'. With some exceptions thesekind of entertainment allows to the visitor, toexpend all night if they wish to, enjoying nativemusic and modern as well, whith the participation ofthe guests. It's almost a big party!Well, the 'Penas' mainly those of Barranco, are themost visited because of their atmosphere, the cityitself provides an enchanting addition to this kindof pastime. As far I know it's informal, but some goes dress upas for a party, or even in tuxedos after Theater ora Concert. Of course, no shirt, no shoes, no service,hah, hah.

by karigalli

Well, if I wanna bring information about the night life in Perú... I have to start with Lima!! Summer is the best time to go outside downtown and enjoy..really really enjoy!!My fav place is all the 97.5 Km: The Asia´s Boulevard. There is located the best discoteques to have fun and meet interesting people! :) like Ibiza, La Huaka, Mai Tay, Baja Beach, Dady Beach and Cocobongo. You can also stay in the same Boulevard ´cause you´ll find many small places for drink or stay there to have fun...Ibiza: is the first place that I recomended to visit, it´s very cool! La Huaka is also one of the best party places (if you want to listen the coolest electronic music: raves partys this is your place!, besides La Huaka have several kind of music) Is the beach! all people go in tshirts, sneakers, skirts, summer dresses! as you want!

Anywhere on the Plaza de Armas and nearby.Every restaurant has traveling Peruvian bands that will entertain you while you eat and try to sell you their CD. The CDs, by the way, are a great souvenir. Casual everywhere
