Featured Destinations
Mexico has some dynamic and world class cities and some of the world's best beaches. For gay and lesbian travelers the choices are endless from the one of the world's biggest cities with a gay scene to match to the biggest gay beach scene in the Americas in Puerto Vallarta and so much more.
Baja Peninsula
From the hectic streets of Tijuana to the quiet beaches of the south, the Baja California peninsula is split up into two states, Baja California (the Northern part) and Baja California Sur (the southern part). Separating them are not only hundreds of miles of desert but completely different vibes. Tijuana and Mexicali are bustling busy cities which take advantage of their border locations and have a gritty urban feel. As you go south things slow down substantially, perking up a little again in La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur.
Oaxaca State
There are two primary destinations of interest to LGBT travelers in Oaxaca State: the pretty colonial city of Oaxaca with its active gay nightlife and the laid back beach town of Zipolite where the nude beach is the principle draw. Other destinations include Huatalco and Jutchitlan.
