Trujillo
We're not big fans of partying in shopping malls. but this smart place in the Centro Comercial Real Plaza is Trujillo's most-happening disco, with a massive dance floor flooded in laser light and three separate bars. It attracts a fairly upper-class crowd, who get dressed up, so throw on your best threads.
Last admission is at 3am, but you can keep dancing until dawn before spilling out into shopping-mall reality.
