Brazil : Perfect Gay Travel Destination

Pristine beaches, diverse culture, beautiful people, an invigorating nightlife and exciting, over-the-top annual celebrations, such as Carnival, bring both gay and straight vacationers to Brazil by the thousands. Brazil, being one of South Americas most popular destinations for gay vacations due to its welcoming and accepting atmosphere and large LGBT population, offers a variety of gay travel options that are appealing to both gay men and lesbians and include opportunities for exhilarating nights on the town, as well as relaxing getaways in paradise. Whether your idea of the perfect gay vacation is a week-long trek through Brazilian jungles in search of ancient ruins or lounging in the lap of luxury at an exclusive resort overlooking the beach, Brazil is sure to deliver the international gay travel experience you seek.

One of the most visited gay travel destinations in Brazil is Rio de Janeiro, home to gay beaches, gay and lesbian clubs, bathhouses, drag shows, circuit parties and world-class recreation, shopping, dining and cultural activities that appeal to vacationers from around the world. Although Rio de Janeiro is well-known as a cosmopolitan playground for gay men, lesbians will find that most gay establishments and events in Rio de Janeiro are welcoming to lesbian women and offer special ladies nights. Lesbians will also find that, while fewer; there are lesbian clubs and establishments for their enjoyment. And, naturally, no mention of gay Rio de Janeiro is complete without the famous Carnival and New Years celebrations that provide a wide array of activities, parades and parties for gay men and lesbian women.

While perhaps the most popular, Rio de Janeiro is not the only gay vacation destination in Brazil. A number of Brazilian cities host annual gay pride parades and festivals, including Sao Paolo and Belo Horizonte, and most urban areas enjoy a thriving gay culture. For gay vacations that are not centered around gay pride festivals or annual events, gay travel options include all-inclusive luxury eco-gay cruises and tours of historical and cultural landmarks offered by organized tour companies catering specifically to the gay and lesbian community.

Planning a gay vacation to Brazil is an exciting endeavor that is sure to lead to many memorable once in a lifetime experiences. Partaking in gay travel in Brazil is much like traveling throughout the United States when it comes to safety and necessary precautions. Just as in the U.S., some areas of Brazil will be more welcoming and accepting than others and using your best judgment in determining the safety of a given area is always a good idea. Also, for travelers interested in visiting Brazils bathhouses, keep in mind that Brazil, like the U.S., is combating the spread of HIV and appropriate precautions should be taken to ensure that you play safely.

Working with a professional travel agency with expertise in Brazil gay vacation packages, local attractions, travel seasons and information that is particularly useful for the gay travel community is the best way to ensure that you will have a fulfilling, enjoyable experience. Whether a luxury beachside retreat, an exciting jungle excursion or a wild week in Rio is more your style, choose a travel agency committed to providing memorable travel experiences to the gay and lesbian community in order to get the most out of your Brazilian vacation.
