5 Best Nightlife in The Northwest, Argentina

You'll meet a mix of locals and visitors at the town's only late-night bar, which also doubles up as a peña, where folk musicians and singers gather to perform. In high season, it opens at 10 pm and closes at 5 am or when the last customer leaves—whichever comes first.

This popular peña with hundreds of vinyl records on the walls calls itself "the cathedral of Jujuy folklore." It's predominantly filled with a young crowd of locals who have no qualms about taking to the small stage, and is a great space to see up-and-coming musicians.

The self-proclaimed "home of folklore" stages nightly shows; it's a top spot for regional music and gaucho dancing.

Live music and beer are always on tap at this raucous pub, where you're as likely to meet backpacking Aussies as you are local law students.
