For a vacation filled with a combination of culture, history, and fun, consider Mexico. You can find big cities packed with night clubs or ancient ruins from long ago. Whether you're looking for a couple's trip or a singles excursion, gay vacations to Mexico can be designed whatever you want.
The country of Mexico is very welcoming to tourists. While the Catholic religion heavily influences the country, the people are known for being friendly and accepting. It is easy to find activities and accommodations marketed as gay friendly. The entire country accepts civil unions for gay people, while Mexico City has legalized both marriage and adoption for same sex couples. There are also anti-discrimination laws enforced throughout the nation.
Mexico City is the cultural and financial center of Mexico. You can learn all about what makes Mexico special through the one hundred and fifty museums in the city. One of the largest pyramids in the world is also nearby. For hotels, you can find anything from cozy bed and breakfasts to luxurious hotels.
The center of gay activity is called La Zona Rosa (The Pink Zone). The area is named after the pink stones that make up the city streets. The majority of the city's bars and clubs are in this area, and many of them are gay themed. A tip to remember: the locals use public transportation to get home at night. Clubs reach capacity early in the evening because the Metro closes around eleven in the evening.
Puerto Vallarta is a necessary stop on the Pacific Coast. So many cruise ships stop in that they are put on rotating schedules in the docks. This town is loved for its old world feel, with cobblestone streets and colonial architecture. Relax on the beach, enjoy the tastes of the many restaurants, or take a tour into the jungle. The choice is yours.
This is one of the best cities for the gay traveler. There are several gay beaches to choose from, but if you are in the Playa Los Muertos at the right season, you might be able to catch sightings of whales or a school of dolphins. At night, you can take in a drag show or play some gay bingo.
Cancun is a hot spot for anyone looking for reasonably priced sun soaked gay travel. The beaches here are known as some of the most beautiful in the world, and it is an excellent spot for underwater activity. When you want to leave the hotel district, downtown Cancun is great for shopping and meeting some of the locals.
While it has a huge reputation as a Spring Break destination, it is also becoming a favorite for those looking for friendly gay tours environments. The Cancun International Gay Festival is held in May and in November there is the Cancun/Rivera Maya Gay Fall Festival. The number of gay bars is always increasing, and the beach is in the south of the hotel district.
The beautiful people and amazing weather are what people go to Mexico for. There are many more cities to entertain and welcome you, but these are a few of the favorites for gay vacations to Mexico.
