Nightlife

It's not hard to find a nightspot in Huaraz. With all the gringos gearing up for or celebrating the completion of trekking expeditions, the place hops in high season.

El Tambo, José de la Mar 776, about 3 blocks from Av. Luzuriaga (tel. 043/423-417), is the most happening disco in town. There's plenty of drinking, dancing, and smoking until the wee hours, and the music careens between international Top 40 and more home-grown Latin sounds. There's usually a pretty good mix of locals and gringos. The cover charge ranges from S/10 to S/20 ($2.85-$5.70). Makondo's (no phone), a cool nightclub with food and dancing, is across from El Tambo on José de la Mar.

Bars worth dropping in on include the intimate Las Kenas, Jr. Gabino Uribe 620 (tel. 043/428-383), which features live and recorded (often Andean) music and good pisco sours, and Monttrek Pub, Av. Luzuriaga 646 (tel. 043/421-121). Next door to Las Kenas (upstairs) is a slightly rowdier bar, X-Treme (tel. 043/682-115), a place to drink and listen to classic rock. La Cueva del Oso, Av. Luzuriaga 674 (no phone), is a lively peña with good music and dancing.
