Eating, drinking and nightlife

Puno's
restaurant
and
nightlife
scene is fairly busy and revolves mainly around JirA?n Lima, but bear in mind that places shut relatively early - not much happens after 11pm on a weekday. The city's strong tradition as one of the major Andean folklore centres in South America means that you're almost certain to be exposed to at least one live band an evening. Musicians tend to visit the main restaurants in town most evenings from around 9pm, playing a few folk numbers in each, usually featuring music from the
altiplano
- drums, panpipes, flutes and occasional dancers. The food in Puno is nothing to write home about, but the local delicacies of trout and kingfish (
pejerey)
are worth trying and are available in most restaurants. Other useful information
