Cusco is renowned in Peru for its energetic nightlife, and due to a large number of tourists, the city is bustling every night of the week. A good number of Cusco's nightlife, tourist bars, and nightclubs are established near the main plaza. The way of life in Peru has an inclination to focus on the moment, and not think about tomorrow, which makes it a great place to go out and party. You will find that in Peru, alcohol, both at stores and bars, is more reasonably priced than in bigger countries. The trendy drinks in Cusco are the Cusqueña and the Pisco Sour. Make sure that you limit your drinks because Cusco’s altitude of over 11,000 feet makes it one of the most punishing places in the world to experience a hangover! You will find venues for dancing, disco, karaoke, and live music near the Plaza de Armas. For dancing and live DJs, visit backpacker hostels near the Plaza de Armas.
