To go out and party hard, hitting bars, clubs, or wherever the night takes you, with full commitment to a good time and no fixed hour to come home. Common in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. The farra is the night out itself, and you give it everything you have, sometimes walking straight to work the next morning.
