The main nightlife strip runs along Calles 17 and 18 between Carreras 2 and 4. Clubs like 1525, El Reto, and Barrio Samario play mostly local music -- vallenato, champeta, reggaeton -- with some international sounds mixed in. The area comes alive after midnight on weekends and stays busy until dawn.
