Gay bars in cartagena colombia
Touristicogay was 3 weeks in Colombia and visited 4 cities: Bogota, Cali, Medellin and Cartagena. We had 2 goals: are the prejudices true and how gay is Colombia? In Europe many people ponder Colombia is still threatening and everyone offers you drugs. But is that true?
We arrived at the airport after a flight of 12 hours. Many airline companies start with flights to Bogota, also KLM and Lufthansa in Europe. Outside you opt for the official taxi, favor in every country.
BOGOTA
Bogota is a huge city and not so warm as other cities, so passionate clothes in the evening are necessary. We stayed in Hostel Pink, a gay venue in Chapinero very close to all the gaybars and discos. Reny and his team offer you a friendly basic room with a breakfast for you and your partner.

For the touristic part you must be in the historical town. This beautiful part of the city offers you the gold museum and an old town that you can visit with a free tour offered by Bogota’s touristic office. Also visit the monastery on the mountain. You can take a instruct or a cable. Relish the view on the mountain. It is amazing!
If you want to attend the city,grab a taxi. It is the cheapest and
Gay Cartagena
Cartagena captivates with its unique combine of colonial charm, tropical beauty, and stunning beaches where the Caribbean’s turquoise waters meet golden sands. This historic city, framed by impressive fortress walls and lively streets, provides a lovey-dovey setting that transports visitors to another time. Here, colorful balconies overflow with vibrant flowers, and the rhythm of salsa fills the air, all against the backdrop of stunning coastal views.
The city’s LGBTQ+ scene in the municipality is firmly on the rise. The bohemian district of Getsemaní pulses with energy, offering gender non-conforming spaces where art, music, and collective pride thrive. The annual pride celebrations are a peak, and create an explosion of shade and music that spills across the district.
Cartagena’s cuisine, infused with Afro-Caribbean flavors, is a culinary adventure, featuring fresh seafood and local delicacies that will tantalize your appetite buds. Beyond the city, nearby beaches and idyllic islands beckon, offering the perfect escape for those seeking a blend of relaxation, adventure, and discovery.

Gay Cartagena is a glorious mess of cobbled alleys, bougainvillea-covered balconies, vibrant plazas, brightly-colored buildings, and historic grandeur. We just wish it had a little more for us queer folk.
A city that welcomes everyone and seizes you in its captivating grip, Cartagena has developed a reputation as one of the Caribbean’s most gay-friendly destinations – along with Punta Cana. In part thanks to its friendly and open-minded locals, though the vibrant Pride events held here, each August definitely helped!
Gay travel here, however, is all relaxation and recreation, so don’t expect queer nightlife to match other gay beach hotspots like Puerto Vallarta, Mykonos, and Phuket.
This might be Colombia, but it seems the raw strength and unbridled queer nightlife of Medellin and Bogota have not quite made it to the sleepy coast just yet.
No, a trip to this vibrant Caribbean jewel is all about embracing the hustle and bustle of everyday loca
Despite its sordid history with the drugs cartels, Colombia has undergone a major transformation over the last 20 years. And although Catholicism is still tough here, Colombian world is often considered more tolerant compared to its neighbors because of the diversity within the population. It is however worth noting that the machismo attitude still persists quite strongly in rural areas, particularly near the coast.
Legal rights and protections for LGBTQ+ people in Colombia are considered among the most progressive in Latin America. Queer marriage was legalized in April 2016 in Colombia with the first lgbtq+ wedding taking place in Cali on 24 May 2016. In addition, Congress passed a regulation banning discrimination on sexual orientation in 2011, adoption for same-sex couples was legalized in 2012 and the right to change your gender has been in place since 1993. Colombia’s gradual legal rights and protections has won the destination the title of top LGBTQ+ emerging destination at the FITUR 2017 travel trade show in Madrid, and is one of the reasons why Colombia was considered the Foremost LGBTQ+ Destination in South America in 2018, by the World Travel Awards.
