Vaca Diez)
Peruvian-run, but English is spoken here. There's a pos-
itive vibe, cheery service and the foliage that hangs from the roof makes you feel like you
are in the jungle, whether there are 'moskkitos' or not. Throw some darts, shoot some
pool and choose your own music - the extensive menu of CDs is played by request.
Luna Lounge
(Avaroa, near Santa Cruz)
Though it has moved from its original location, this is one of
Rurre's longest standing bars with a bouncing atmosphere, good pizza and great cocktails.
BAR
Bungalow Café Lounge
(Comercio, near Santa Cruz)
Another chip off the old stick of bamboo, though this takes a
slightly harder rock angle in its music.
BAR
Banana Club
(Comercio; admission incl 1 drink B$15)
If you want to try salsa dancing or Bolivian-
style grooving, this slightly sleazy club has Cuban doctors shaking their booties, locals
getting drunk and gringos joining in.
CLUB
Shopping
The cheap clothing stalls along Pando are a good place to pick up
hamacas
(hammocks;
single/double B$150/250) and finely woven cotton and synthetic
mosquiteros
(mosquito
is convenient for stocking up on sun block, repellent and other jungle necessities.
