Picasso Lounge
(

;
Bolívar 762)
This shotgun-style cafe and bar approaches
Trujillo's trendiness tipping point and is a great place to check out some contemporary
local art. Exhibitions change every two months. When the bartender is on (Thursday to
Saturday from 8pm), there's a well-rounded cocktail list with some creative pisco concoc-
tions.
CAFE, BAR
Restaurante Turístico Canana
( San Martín 791; admission S20; from 11pm Thu-Sat)
Although this place serves
good Peruvian coastal food, late Thursday to Saturday is the time to go. Local musicians
and dancers perform, starting at around 11pm, and you just might find yourself joining in.
Better start drinking now.

Dangers & Annoyances
Single women tend to receive a lot of attention from males in Trujillo - to exasperating,
even harassing, levels. If untoward advances are made, firmly state that you aren't interes-
ted. Inventing a boyfriend or husband sometimes helps get the message across. See

Like many other cities, the noise pollution levels in Trujillo are high. Civic groups have
attempted to protest the constant bleating of taxi horns.
