Deliberately hard to find, this unsignposted hole in the wall is the home of salsa in Cuenca. Here pinch-waisted, elastic-hipped locals swing gringas around the claustrophobic dance floor while their boyfriends sup beers and look on through green eyes. Open late, with a well-worn path from Café Eucalyptus on a Wednesday night, it’s as hot, hot, hot as it gets in Catholic Cuenca.
Location: Gran Colombia y Tomas Ordonez;
