This place is best known for the folk performances they offer during the nights which are considered probably as the best folk show in the country.

You can see morenada, diablada, llamerada, caporales, saya and other dances from the Puno region, as well as marinera, tondero, festejo, waltz from the coastal regions of Lima, Ica, La Libertad, Piura and Lambayeque, and dances from Arequipa, Ayacucho, Moquegua and other regions of the country. This show is a must when visiting Lima.
During lunch time they open their restaurant that serves traditional dishes from Puno like cancacho (a special version of roasted lamb), chairo (a soup with black dehydrated potatoes and aji panca - red chili pepper), cordero frito (fried lamb) and many other traditional dishes from Puno.
