LGBTQ+ Friendly Destinations in South America

Peru: Culture, Cuisine, and Connection

Peru is home to Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, the Amazon, and Cusco, where Kuoda is proudly based. While LGBTQ+ rights are still evolving, our strong local partnerships ensure guests feel welcome and supported throughout their journey. Lima offers a burgeoning queer scene with bars, art galleries, and stylish boutique hotels in neighborhoods like Miraflores and Barranco.

Your private guide will provide cultural insight and local tips, while Kuoda ensures your accommodations, experiences, and transport reflect our commitment to safe and affirming travel. Highlights include Andean rituals with indigenous shamans, luxury Amazon lodges, and curated culinary adventures.

Argentina: Tango, Passion, and Progress

One of the most LGBTQ+-friendly countries in Latin America, Argentina is a beacon of inclusivity. From the rainbow crosswalks of Buenos Aires to the queer-owned vineyards in Mendoza, the country warmly welcomes LGBTQ+ travelers. Kuoda crafts immersive experiences like:

• A tango night with queer dancers
• A private bike tour through Palermo’s street art and LGBTQ+ landmarks
• A bespoke journey to Patagonia designed for couples

You’ll stay in exclusive estancias, explore glacial landscapes, and enjoy curated gastronomy with insider access to Argentina’s finest chefs and winemakers.

Ecuador and the Galapagos: Adventure Meets Tranquility

The Galapagos Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offer an unparalleled setting for LGBTQ+ travelers seeking intimate, nature-forward experiences. Kuoda arranges private catamaran journeys where couples and groups can explore the archipelago’s biodiversity in comfort and privacy.

On mainland Ecuador, Quito and Cuenca offer charming accommodations, colonial history, and inclusive dining scenes. Whether it’s soaking in volcanic hot springs or photographing wildlife with a naturalist guide, our team ensures every moment reflects your interests and values.

Chile: Stargazing, Wine, and Cultural Encounters

Chile’s diversity of landscapes is matched by its growing embrace of LGBTQ+ inclusivity. From the cosmopolitan energy of Santiago to the solitude of the Atacama Desert, Chile offers something for every traveler.

Stay in luxury wine lodges in the Colchagua Valley, go stargazing under some of the world’s clearest skies, or hike the Torres del Paine with a private guide. Kuoda selects accommodations and experiences that uphold both luxury and respect.
