The most acmodatg statn for gay and lbian travelers is San Pedro Town on the island of Ambergris Caye, which is also the untry's most popular tourist statn. Guatemala is one of the more homophobic untri Central Ameri, due to the primarily nservative Catholic populatn and a strong machismo culture.

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!

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. 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. 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.

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!

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. 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. ) 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.

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. 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.
