  • Tip Rating:
  • It was just one of those moments you stumble upon when travelling. Its late in Miraflores, About 9PM in the main plaza a crowd is gathered in a circular type stage. They have a boombox for music and a local chorus is singing while people dance along.

    I am still not sure what it was all about but it was cool!
