La Casa Del Corregidor Murillo 1040 
02/2363633 A lovely cobbled courtyard and rustic colonial interior – all red-checked tablecloths and cast-iron chandeliers – makes this the most elegant folk music environment in the capital. Opening time: Shows start at 8.30pm; closed SunPrice: $10 cover, food included
2 Peña Huari Sagárnaga 339 02/2316225 The longest-established and most popular peña in town – hence the high cover charge – with a reasonably authentic folk music show and good, if pricey, traditional Altiplano food, including a list of llama dishes well into double figures. Opening time: Shows start around 8pmPrice: $10.25
3 Peña Markatambo Jaen 710 02/2280041 Perhaps the most authentic traditional music and dance show in La Paz, with an ideal setting in an old colonial mansion, though the food is mediocre. Price: $4.25 cover charge Opening time: Shows (Thurs– Sat only) start at 10pm
4 Peña Parnaso Sagárnaga 189 02/2316827 A very touristy peña, slap-bang in the middle of gringo alley. The food isn't bad, and reasonably compelling shows kick off at 8.30pm amid colonial cornicing, columns and a particularly tacky backdrop. There is a cover charge, although you can sometimes pick up flyers offering a free drink. Price: $10
