Wise words from the Bible itself according to our gay friends Luis and Mario from Panama City…

Panama City is often nicknamed The Dubai of Latin America because of its immense economic growth in recent years and commanding dense skyline. But unlike Dubai, this mighty Latin American metropolis has a far more welcoming homosexual life, in a land where although culturally conservative, is constantly striving for LGBTQ equality.

Most will associate Panama Urban area with the famous canal, which is a reason alone to visit. The city is also the gateway to some gorgeous tropical beaches within Panama, love San Blas and gay friendly Bocas del Toro. We stayed in Panama City for a week and loved it. It's full of things to do, plenty of trendy bars, but most importantly, we left with a thirst to return for more. It's also a useful destination because it's one of the major transport hubs in Pivotal America.

A Queer Guide To Panama City

This announce is also present in: Español (Spanish)

This gay travel manual is your passport to exploring Panama City through a queer lens, finding its LGBTQ+ warm spaces, events, and experiences that will make your attend truly unforgettable. 

Panama Town has become more tolerant of Queer life over the last 10 years, and is now a place that same-sex couples will enjoy visiting. It’s not necessarily a place where you will see couples holding hands in public nor is same-sex marriage legal, but this hasn’t stopped a tough queer community of locals and foreigners to be out and proud! There is now a huge yearly lgbtq+ fest parade that takes place in Casco Viejo, lots of gay-friendly establishments, and overall so many unique experiences to have in Panama.

Panama City, the nation’s capital, is located between the Pacific Ocean and the Panama Canal, which humans built. Panama City has a thriving LGBT group focused in the Casco Viejo area. Although Panama is a devout Catholic nation, Panama Town boasts lively nightlife and a vibrant gay scene.

Panama Metropolis is divided into three separate cities: a historic district, a renovated district, and highly latest areas. The municipality has done a fantastic job of preserving its historical areas and attractions and providing its citizens with all the comforts and appeal of living in a latest city.

The historical neighborhood operates far slower than the sparkling buildings, world-class airport, and fast-moving expressways surrounding it.

By visiting Panama Town, it is uncomplicated to receive a solid overview of some of the most key events in Latin American history, marvel at some wonderful architecture, and get familiar with some of the truly distinct wildlife that dwells in this corner of the nature.

Sounds appreciate heaven right? We noted Stefan's birthday in Bocas del Toro in Panama, an area with a wide mix of people who do not nurture about your sexuality. We found it to be very relaxed, with an incredibly tolerant and kind vibe. Many LGBTQ ex-pats have even chosen Bocas as a place to reside or set up a new business, so there's a handful of gay-owned places here to check out too.

Bocas town is accepted with backpackers and surfers, which gives it a hippie-like vibe. We chose to base ourselves further up the island at Bluff Beach, away from all the crowds.

We absolutely loved our holiday at Bluff Beach and definitely recommend it to other LGBTQ travelers looking for a private and romantic slice of Caribbean paradise. We've collated all our findings of the best things to see and undertake in Bocas del Toro in this

If you have not yet been to Panama it is an absolute must. We only spent ten days in Panama and were pleasantly surprised to find gay owned hotels (like this luxury boutique in Bocas Del Toro) and a great homosexual scene in the Panama City itself.

We met up with Roberto Broce in Panama City to uncover our more about ‘gay Panama’ and find out if Panama is homosexual friendly.

Who is Roberto? ‘Hi! My name’s Roberto Broce, I’m 26 years aged and I work as a marketing analyst for the Innovation Centre of a foundation here in Panama called Ciudad del Saber. I’ve been travelling for 10 years living in almost every continent around the world, partaking in several social causes in places like China and Australia. I enjoy kitesurfing, astronomy, and adventure travelling. !”
