…and God said, “Let there be sexy people”, so he created Panamanians!
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 striking dense skyline. But unlike Dubai, this mighty Latin American metropolis has a far more welcoming same-sex attracted life, in a state where although culturally conservative, is constantly striving for LGBTQ equality.
Most will associate Panama Town with the famous canal, which is a reason alone to visit. The city is also the gateway to some gorgeous tropical beaches within Panama, enjoy 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 Core America.

This gay travel mentor is your passport to exploring Panama City through a queer lens, uncovering its LGBTQ+ kind spaces, events, and experiences that will make your attend truly unforgettable.
Panama Town has become more tolerant of Homosexual 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 formidable 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.

You'll be very pleasantly surprised... there's a fun gay scene in Panama City. Check out www.chemibel.comto get you started. There are several good discos, a limited very local bars, and a nice new clean & sometimes very busy Sauna (Turcos Masculinos). Taxis are cheap... use them to get around, just consent on a price before you get in... no meters. Usually no more than about $2.00 - $2.50 to go anywhere in town, though it may cost a bit more adv at night. You'll have a great time. Be sure to wander around in Casco Viejo (during the day). Reminds me of New Orleans architecture.
Have fun

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 superb gay scene in the Panama Municipality itself.
We met up with Roberto Broce in Panama Metropolis to find our more about ‘gay Panama’ and discover out if Panama is gay friendly.
Who is Roberto? ‘Hi! My name’s Roberto Broce, I’m 26 years old 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 fancy China and Australia. I like kitesurfing, astronomy, and adventure travelling. !”
