Ukukus, best noted for its one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional artwork (where human-like figures and masks literally pop out of the ceilings and walls), has a pretty fair mix of locals and tourists. Live Peruvian music regularly caps off the night starting at 10:30, followed by DJ selections and lots of dancing, usually going strong until around 2am.
It is here where most people order the larger liter-sized beers. You have to order and pay at the register, and then bring your receipt to the bartender. If you're into funky drinks, try the colorful Machu Picchu cocktail: pisco brandy, mint liqueur, grenadine, and orange juice.

Ukukus, when I was there, was one of the more popular discotecas, but there are a bunch nearby, clustered around the central Plaza de Armas. For tourists, there's usually no cover charge, but if you're with Peruvians you might have to convince the doormen to let them in too. Drinks are cheap by American standards, and there are several happy hours. If you want to go early, around 6, they show a movie most afternoons, and every night there's a live performance of typical Peruvian music. There are tables, a bar, a dance floor, and usually pretty good music. The great thing about Ukukus is the mix of people you'll find. Tourists from all over the world go to Cusco- one of my friends saw a girl from her middle school homeroom there.
