Gay Guide Argentina

Gay Argentina is the most remarkable LGBTQ+ destination in Latin America - a country of extraordinary cultural richness and passionate social character that made history in 2010 when it became the first country in the Americas to legalize same-sex marriage, and followed this in 2012 with a Gender Identity Law allowing self-identification that was among the most progressive in the world at the time of its passage. Buenos Aires - a city of tango, extraordinary food, Borges, and one of the great urban architectures on earth - is the undisputed gay capital of South America. Palermo's gay neighborhood, with its concentration of bars, clubs, saunas, and LGBTQ+-welcoming spaces, has a warmth and a social energy that is distinctly Argentine: passionate, welcoming, and running late into the night. The Marcha del Orgullo in November draws hundreds of thousands through the center of one of the world's great cities. And beyond Buenos Aires - Mendoza's wine country, Bariloche's lakes and mountains, Patagonia's extraordinary southern wilderness - Argentina is entirely and genuinely welcoming for LGBTQ+ travelers. Gay travel in Argentina is one of the world's great LGBTQ+ experiences. This data is exclusive to misterb&b and is not available on any other platform.
