Lima Travel Guide
Where to go out
|
|
Lima is, not unexpectedly, the nightlife capital of Peru, famous for its music and late-night scene. From jazz bars and folkloric peñas to wild discotheques, Lima’s nightlife has something for everyone. During summer months, much of Lima’s famed nocturnal life moves south to the beaches on the outskirts of the capital, concentrated around the Punta Hermosa (km,43) and Asia (km 99) resort communities.

The two best-known discotheques in Lima face each other in Larcomar: Gotica and Aura. Both feature separate zones with distinct music, electronic and pachanga (a popular form of música latina). Both also have open-air terraces with great sea and coastal views; the terraces are interconnected and even host occasional joint events. During winter months, the two discos are full from Thursday to Saturday, while Wednesday tends to be easier going. During the summer (January to March), Wednesday and Thursday are the most popular nights, as weekends see many Limeños clear out of the city and head to the southern beaches for the weekend. Larcomar Shopping Center, Miraflores. Gótica: Tel: 445-6343. Website: www.gotica.com.pe. Aura: Tel: 242-5516. Website: www.aura.com.pe
