Night life
 
 

Most cities in Peru offer a variety of nightlife. In Lima, there are penhas (locales offering traditional live traditional music), disco techs, pubs, and night clubs in several districts, yet the most popular are found in Miraflores, San Isidro, and Barranco. The location of nightlife places in other cities is normally near the main square and its surroundings.

Food and beverages
 
 

Peruvian cuisine is characterized by a wide variety of traditional dishes from the coast, highlands, and jungle. Some are usually spicy or intensely seasoned, which is why we suggest you learn about them before ordering.

Pisco Sour is the national drink of Peru and it is served in countless other ways. Chicha morada (purple corn juice), chica de jora (corn beer), and aguaje (drink made from aguaje palm fruits) are also traditional drinks from Peru that you can enjoy during your trip throughout Peru.
