Restaurante Turístico Canana

Trujillo


Although it's billed as a restaurant and does indeed serve good Peruvian food, this place is really a lively peña (Andean-themed) bar and only opens Friday and Saturday, when locals come in droves to dance to typical Andean music played by a band. It gets busy from around 11pm. If you want to fit in, better start drinking now.
