subject: WHAT TO DO IN BUENOS AIRES: GAY & LESBIAN TOURISM [print this page] I believe that most Argentineans are open minded, of course we can be obtuse with some ideas, but most of the time we are opened to see, feel and experience different things. Besides, you already know that some times, while being in Buenos Aires you can feel that cosmpolitan-french air, all this, added to the magnificense and mistery of the country, make from Buenos Aires the most Gay-Friendly city in Latin America.
LGBT's are welcomed almost anywhere, but to be sure that you really make the most out of your trip, here I give you some recommendations:
Gay-friendly accommodation
Buenos Aires has lots of options for you to do so, it can be by renting a gay-friendly apartment; some are even managed by gays and they really know how to make you feel comfortable, or by staying at a Hotel, there are some that are exclusively for gay or lesbian travelers.
While getting lodging, don't be afraid to tell what you really want in terms of style or with whom you are travelling, by the reaction of the sales representative, you will know if they are really gay-friendly or if it was just a "pick-up".
Trips and city tours
Although you can make regular city tours, some times you might want to be around people that feel and think like you.
There are some great city tours that show you the most important places of BA, like the congress or the "Pink House" (the presidents residence) and then a tour to shop and eat mostly in Palermo-
Want to get to know more places that BA? then get a package to travel to Salta, Misiones,
or any other destination, you can see lots of offers on the internet.
Tango and Milongas
If you have to choose some things that describe Buenos Aires I'll bet you will choose: Maradona, Asado and Tango, and its almost unforgivable that you come to visit us for some days and that you don't, at least go to see some Tango dancers.
Tango is for couples, its a sensual and truly provocative dance and although you may not believe, our "Argentinean Machos" used to dance it together in order to practice before dancing with a woman and of course Buenos Aires provides options that are open to the community, such as " La Marshall" and " Besos Brujos".
Night life
Another of Buenos Aires main attraction, we are used to gather early in the night, to get some dinner and drinks what we call "previa"- and then going dancing up to any hour, I remember getting back to my house at 2 pm!!!
And you wouldn't like to miss it, there are some great discos open to anyone- that are really fantastic and have a great ambientation (the ones held at Buenos Aires Golf are great, I'll let you know about the next one) and of course, Gay-friendly discos and Pubs. I only went to two of them. Amerika and Glam, and really enjoyed the night. For younger travelers, you might want to find out were the "Plop Party" and the "Bizarre fest" are going to be held
There are a lot of things to do in Buenos Aires, gay and non gay and you are lucky to be able to do them all. I do hope this article helps you enjoy your trip
Get out of the closet, come to Buenos Aires!
