Urubamba offers a relaxed evening atmosphere, where visitors can enjoy a quiet drink and local cuisine primarily within established hotel lounges and reputable restaurants, rather than a vibrant nightlife scene.
Entertainment and Music:
Urubamba, while primarily a tranquil retreat, participates in the Sacred Valley's evolving music and entertainment scene, which blends traditional and contemporary sounds.
The town offers glimpses of a local music scene, with venues like La Columna hosting events that feature local bands and international artists. This scene also embraces traditional Andean sounds and a unique style known as 'medicine music'.

It is an ideal setting for a quiet evening drink after a day of exploration. Expect professional service and a peaceful environment.

Around Urubamba's Plaza de Armas and along the main streets, several restaurants and cafes offer a welcoming space to enjoy a drink, often alongside a meal.
