In , Colombia became the 4th country in Latin America to legalise gay marriage after Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Outside of the main cities of Colombia, homophobia is still prevalent, particularly along the coastal towns.
For us it's a huge gay playground, which we'd definitely plan a trip to Bogota for. To find out more about gay life in Colombia, check out our interview with local boy Jesus from Barranquilla. We found Uruguay to be Latin America's most chilled out and liberal country.
From our travels in Latin America, we found the Uruguayans to overall be the most accepting, tolerant and gay friendly. We based ourselves in our Uruguay trip in Montevideo, the capital city, which also has the largest LGBTQ community and best gay scene in the country. On weekends, we'd start with a few drinks at Chains, before heading to Il Tempo or Cain for the drag shows and to dance.
Like in Buenos Aires, our favourite memory from Montevideo is the queer tango. We did an awesome class at the Teatro Solis with sexy teacher Rodrigo, who also gave us a fascinating insight into what it's like growing up gay in Montevideo.
Ecuador is home to the famous Galapagos Islands, which we visited twice during our travels in Latin America. We love hanging out in the Foch square of the Mariscal where there is a fun and exciting party atmosphere every evening. The city also has its own Pride event in June and film festival in November. Both are small events by comparison to other cities, but still just as important, and a sign that the country's LGBTQ community is thriving. Best way to nurse a hangover in Quito?
Hike up to 3, metres on a Sunday morning to see the view from El Panecillo hill of course! Lima is the final city in our list and a slightly controversial entry. Despite this, Lima has a modern and forward thinking community based mainly in the Miraflores and Barranco neighbourhoods.
Lima is also home to a mix of famous Peruvian celebrities, artists and politicians who are not only out and proud, but actively supporting our LGBTQ family. You can read more about it as well as what gay life is like in Peru in our interview with Aaron from Lima.
