Practical information : Take a break Peru
Timetable
Cafés are generally open throughout the day, bars from 7 or 8pm and livelier from Thursday to Sunday. Happy hour is rare, except in tourist areas.
Budget & Tips
Short breaks are an additional budget item. You can have a cheap lunch, but quality coffees, desserts or cocktails cost more. Let's say around S/15 for coffee or dessert and S/30 for cocktails. Of course, you have to take into account the location, the time spent and the service received. Another good idea is to try the desserts offered by street vendors: mazamora (compote), arroz con leche (rice pudding) or picarones (fried doughnuts).
Age restrictions
As the legal drinking age is often 18, this is sometimes checked, but it's not uncommon for people to turn a blind eye.
What's very local
In the sierra, people drink hot alcoholic beverages like té piteado or thicker herbal drinks like el emoliente. Emoliente carts can be found on street corners. In the selva, the herbs are aphrodisiacs, and the brandies all have provocative, colourful names. In either case, take it easy. Even pisco sour (the local religion, especially on the coast) goes straight to the head, especially in its pisco catedral or double version.
Kids
Children are not welcome in alcohol-only establishments or other clubs.
