Attus towards homosexualy vary wily different parts of Guatemala.

GAY-FRIENDLY TOURS GUATEMALA CY

Antigua is generally gay-acceptg but not very gay “open” – ’s a low-key acceptance. Women would have no problem walkg down the street holdg hands (s part of the culture for women to do so) but for men, I would not remend - though, there are TONS of gay men Antigua.

But those are different blog posts – this is about gay thgs so here we go:Gay Bar/Club Scene: Frida’s Ati Upstairs Bar: Frida’s is a well-loted, touristy rtrant (wh credible margaras and a Sunday bnch to die for) but UPSTAIRS, at night, the rtrant turns lols dance club!

GAY NIGHTLIFE GUATEMALA

Frida’s is Lbian-owned, not exclively gay but has very gay monthly events and weekly dance parti featurg techno, electronic and hoe mic wh an always open and welg atmosphere. Whether man, woman, transgenr, straight, gay, sgle or upled, at Frida’s you n tly be yourself. The Backyard Bar and Rtrant: When we first got to Antigua, I asked around the expat pag for remendatns on gay plac and several people said to me, go to the back porch of Backyard Bar – sound super sketchy to me.

GUATEMALA GAY TRAVEL - LGBT RMATN JULY 2023

Red's Bar: we did not go to this bar and is a ltle odd to me bee on the surface seems like a straight sport's bar but we noticed they often advertise VERY gay events, hosted the Miss Gay Guatemala pageant and are listed as a gay men's bar on a few Guatemala pag. Vudú Bar: this bar is straight-owned but very gay wh their signature drk lled Unirn Pe and rabow-themed everythg. Rtrant Scene:Antigua is full of great rtrants and a bunch of medcre on, too but here are a few fantastic rtrants where you n also feel fortable beg yourself– Frida’s, Angie Angie, Cact Grill, Osteria Franc, Caoba Farms Café, Samsara, Rabow Café (don’t let the name fool you, this is not a gay tablishment but ’s a very chill, progrsive environment)Tattoo Shop: Superr Tattoos – Miguel owner, artistIf you would be terted a Week-Long (LGBT) Group Travel event wh Antigua, where we arrange everythg but your flight, please shoot an email at and we’ll keep you the loop!

GAY PRI GUATEMALA

Currently, Niragua do not have anti-gay laws on the books but is still not a totally acceptg untry and has a long way to go before gay marriage or regnn of our relatnships.

GAY AND GAY-IENDLY HOTELS GUATEMALA CY

GranadaFilled wh expats, rtrants, happy hour specials and an unreal art scene, Granada is a pretty okay place to be gay.

GAY AND GAY-IENDLY HOTELS ANTIGUA GUATEMALA

Like Antigua, there is a thrivg gay muny, you jt have to fd . When we were Granada, we saw a gaggle of drag queens walkg down the street together followed by a band of gay boys – clearly off to a party.

We also heard of a bar lled Mi Terra, that is not “gay” but where the gays we didn't fd a ton of bars, we did fd a ton of gay-owned or gay-iendly hotels, though we only stayed one of them ourselv. Kekoldi Hotel: loted the historic area of downtown, not exclively gay but regularly advertis on gay travel webs. Tribal Hotel: gay-owned, exceptnally nice boutique hotel only two blocks om the ma square.

) We know there are two gay bars – we did not vis eher of them but here they are:Tabu - gets really good reviews, has weekly drag shows and events, dance bar Bar Q – i n't fd a webse for this bar but we were told s a nice neighborhood bar wh excellent dj's on the weekends. San Juan Del Sur San Juan Del Sur do not have a gay bar but there are often gay “events” gog on at var hotels and bars by promoters. The reputatn is served – dark, soft sand, great wav, unbelievable gay nightlife, however, (and also yoga, healthy rtrants, malls and hipster f) the place to be is San Salvador.

GAY LIFE ANTIGUA - ANTIGUA FOM

They have all of your typil gay event parti and some really, really random lol live entertament – but a good time will be had, damn Sndavia is a bath hoe – word on the street is that this one is as much a club and bar as is a bathhoe. Look, ’s a good time – you should check Salvador has a vibrant gay muny and they have had a gay pri para for several years: Ri.

Super, duper, gay Costa Ri! Where to beg… of Costa Ri is really gay-iendly. There is very much a live and let live attu there, more than any other Central Amerin untry we spent time even though gay marriage is still illegal.

Sometim, bee the mic everywhere is so good Costa Ri (and so, so gay) you wont know whether you are a gay bar, a straight bar, a rtrant or a walmart. You should jt check out the entire untry and feel pretty fortable beg yourself – but for foc – lets talk about the two big gay hotspots and a uple of honorable mentns:Manuel Anton Manuel Anton is the origal Costa Rin gay mec. The number of specifilly gay bars fluctuat – the first time we went, there were 5 and more recently, 3.

GAY EL SALVADOR: LGBTQ TRAVEL GUI

3 bars such a ty place says a lot about the place and those are only the exclively signated gay bars.

There are several other bars and rtrants that are gay hangouts and at one time, there was even a gay beach. That beach has sce been purchased by a rort and is no longer accsible but you’ll fd plenty of gays on any of the beach beg their happy, openly gay Mogambo: This small neighborhood bar is part of and ss on top of Raphael Terraza’s rtrant. Club Karma: Currently, this is THE gay bar of Manuel Anton wh fire-l outdoor areas, slightly mpy door dance floor and bar.

TURKEY: PORTUGUE TOURIST SAYS HE WAS JAILED FOR LOOKG GAY

Barr Eslante is my favore neighborhood, full of rtrants, bars, hipsters, gay people, pretty tree-led streets and liquor-filled ice cream. We enjoyed Chatown (Barr Cho) as well - there are a few small gay bars here but we didn't check any of them out. There is a gay rort San Jose named Colours but we didn't stay there, has gotten mixed reviews ( fairns, nothg bad, jt rangg om good to medcre) and they ignored our requt to e check out so all i n tell you is that exists and may be a good night's stop on your way to Manuel Anton.

I uld go on and on and on about the San Jose gay bars and muny but this would take years.

There is also a rtrant that serv an honorable mentn here:Arbol De Seda: Its owned by a Pevian lbian chef who also happens to be the first gay person to get legally married the untry (though, is still not legal - funny story that you n check out here.
