Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
The equipment is top notch, while the space is a bit makeshift in a Berlin sort of way
(as long as there is alcohol, nobody will notice the second-hand furniture). Good times.
BAR
Los 13 Buhos
(Parque Ginebra; 5pm-late)
A supremely cool cafe-bar in newly upgraded Parque
Ginebra digs. The owner, Lucho, was the first craft beer brewer in Huaraz and has been
known to take out ranting English ads against mass produced Peruvian beers in the paper.
He brews and bottles five tasty choices, including red and black ales laced with coca. His
new location is chockfull of local art and Spencer Tunick nudes that have turned some
Huaraz heads. It's the best bar in town for kicking back on comfy lounge sofas over cold
homebrews and liquid-courage inspired conversation.
Entertainment
El Tambo
(José de la Mar 776; to 4am)
If you're hankerin' to shake your groove-thang, this is
the most popular disco in town, complete with dance floor trees and loads of nooks and
crannies to hide yourself away in. Fashionable with both
extranjeros
(foreigners) and Per-
uvians, the music swings from techno-
cumbia
to Top 20, salsa and reggae and most
things in between.
BAR, CLUB
Shopping
Inexpensive thick woolen sweaters, scarves, hats, socks, gloves, ponchos and blankets are
available if you need to rug up for the mountains; many of these are sold at stalls on the
pedestrian alleys off Luzuriaga or at the
feria artesanal
(artisans' market) off the Plaza de
Armas. A few shops on Parque Ginebra and several agencies that rent equipment and gear
sell quality climbing gear and clothes.
Perú Magico
(José Sucre btwn Farfán & Bolívar; 9am-2pm & 3-9pm Mon-Sat)
Offers an assort-
ment of jewelry, textiles and pottery from around the country and is the official shop for
JEWELRY, HANDICRAFTS
