10 unmissable LGBTQ+ events in Latin America

10 unmissable LGBTQ+ events in Latin America
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK).

A thriving hotspot for LGBTQ+ travel, Latin America’s social calendar is crammed with thrilling queer events. Whether you’re planning a trip around Pride Month celebrations or looking for some cultural enrichment with special-interest festivals, there’s hardly a bad time to visit

1. São Paulo Gay Pride

São Paulo, Brazil
June

Every year, travellers in the know head to São Paulo for what is truly the largest gay pride in the world, with millions of attendees. It’s a full-force extravaganza, the one time this usually business-oriented city rivals Rio de Janeiro on the celebratory circuit. The parade’s main route travels the city’s most important thoroughfare, Avenida Paulista, lined with iconic skyscrapers, art nouveau mansions, museums and other cultural institutions. Usually in June, it’s a whole week of events with the accompanying Feira Cultural Da Diversidade LGBT+ featuring art shows, drag contests, restaurant outings and other highlights.

2. Rio de Janeiro Carnival

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
February/March

There’s no experience quite like Rio’s Carnival. Millions turn out for the event, in February or March depending on the Easter calendar — with the weekend and the Monday and Tuesday before the Christian holiday Ash Wednesday and Lent the most bacchanalian days. The event is centred around the Sambadrome, the linear stadium designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, with some tourist packages giving visitors a chance to march in costume. The majority of places are queer-friendly, with the main highlights being the Gay Ball at the Scala club and the Rua Farme de Amoedo gay beach block party in Ipanema.

3. Queer Tango Festival Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, Argentina
Various dates

The tango, a fusion of African, European, New World and Indigenous dance styles, was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009. It has roots within Argentina’s same-sex history, as men often performed the dance with each other — even if only to impress women watching. After the early 2000s peso crisis, which plunged the country into financial turmoil, LGBTQ+ tango salons began to emerge. Visitors can either join in or sit back and enjoy this quintessential Buenos Aires art form through a queer lens.

4. Vendimia para Todxs (Vendimia for All)

Mendoza, Argentina
February/March

With juice-stained, ballgown-wearing beauty queens representing Argentina’s wine regions on parade floats throwing grapes, melons, bottles of wine and other agricultural products into the throngs lining Mendoza’s streets, the Vendimia is already an unusual and vibrant wine festival. The Gay Vendimia or Vendimia for All only adds to the crazy fun, with a beauty queen pageant of gay, trans and drag contestants along with other entertainment. Definitely the world’s largest, if not only, queer wine festival, the event is held in February or March, timed for the country’s annual grape harvest.

5. The Vallarta Pride Parade and Vallarta Pride Festival

Vallarta, Mexico
May

Puerto Vallarta is a queer-friendly destination year-round, but this vibrant city overlooking the Pacific really comes alive in late May during the Vallarta Pride Parade and Vallarta Pride Festival. The highlight is the Saturday Parade along the beachfront Malecón, where thousands of people turn up to celebrate the community. Other highlights throughout the week-long gathering include art shows, special dining events, bar parties and more. It’s a popular (albeit more crowded) time to visit this city, which was once the secluded haunt of Hollywood stars like Elizabeth Taylor.

6. Amor Film Festival

Santiago, Chile
June/July

Travellers seeking a quiet and cerebral experience can do no better than heading to Santiago, Chile, for the Amor International LGBT+ Film Festival, which was founded in 2016 and is held from late June to early July. Though an international festival, there’s a strong focus on queer Latin American and Iberian submissions in Spanish and Portuguese. The scattered screening and event locations — which range from the Cineteca Nacional to the Teatro Municipal de Maipu and the Comunidad Cultural Comunitaria La Inclusive — offer the chance to catch new films and engage in cinematic conversations while exploring the Chilean capital.

7. Havana, Cuba Gay Pride March and Festival

Havana, Cuba
May

Cuba has long been a queer-friendly destination. Through the organisation Cenesex, run by Mariela Castro, daughter of former leader Raul Castro, the communist country has also been an intriguing part of the global LGBTQ+ rights movement, and is especially advanced on transgender issues. Queer rights activists have to toe the party line, and this colourful late May spectacle in the storied streets of Havana is usually a government-supported event, generally promoting an approved narrative. Peaceful protests can sometimes occur, making this a rare, interesting time to see Cuban politics in action.

8. Carnaval Gay de Barranquilla

Barranquilla, Colombia
Easter week

Barranquilla, a lesser-frequented spot for LGBTQ+ travellers, is best known for its lively festival. The city, which sits on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, is home to one of South America’s largest events — the Barranquilla Carnaval. It features several LGBTQ+ events alongside the core parades, meaning this multifaceted extravaganza is unlikely to remain a secret for too much longer. Like many carnivals, its timing is based on the Easter calendar. The glittering week of events includes marches, cultural outings, parties, drag pageants, and other feather-adorned spectacles where the music is always turned up high.

9. San Juan Gay Pride

San Juan, Puerto Rico
June

Puerto Rico has been through a difficult few years, from natural disasters to economic slowdowns, but San Juan Pride continues. This early June event is one of the Caribbean’s largest, with bars, restaurants and nightclubs along Avenida Condado in the Condado neighbourhood’s LGBTQ+ district packed with locals and visitors alike. The parade kicks off early from its staging grounds in Parque del Indio in view of the beachfront before heading along Ashford Avenue with a line-up of participants, floats, music and dancers. It culminates with a rally and show of activists, singers, drag artists and other performances at Parque del Tercer Milenio.

10. Diversity March/ Manuel Antonio Gay Beach Parade

San José, Costa Rica
June/July

Visitors who time their trips right and stay long enough during a June visit to Costa Rica get two incredible LGBTQ+ pride events. It’s a chance to see art shows, film exhibits and have plenty of fun. In late June, Costa Rica’s capital San José hosts the Diversity March, a colourful spectacle combining fun and activism, with myriad sophisticated cultural events worthy of this Central American capital. Two weeks later and only a two-hour drive away is the Manuel Antonio Gay Beach Parade in Manuel Antonio National Park, on the beach itself. The weekend is full of pool parties, tea dances and other events.
