It’s also a gay mecca. LGBT+ Americans flock to Puerto Vallarta - also known as PV - every year. You’ll find many excellent hotels in PV, not to mention world class nightlife. It’s considered to be the best foodie destinations in Mexico outside the capital.</p><p>Once a sleepy fishing town, Puerto Vallarta emerged as a major hotspot when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton made it their second home. From the 1960s onwards, PV has been a very fashionable destination. It offers the perfect combination of sun, sand and sea. In peak season it’s also one of the gayest places in the Americas.</p><h2><a href="https://www.travelgay.com/puerto-vallarta-gay-bars/">Gay Bars in Puerto Vallarta</a></h2><p>Puerto Vallarta’s gay scene is centred around Zona Romantica. It’s right in the heart of the city. Zona Romantica is Latin America’s biggest gaybourhood. As LGBT+ Europeans flock to Mykonos, LGBT+ Americans flock to PV. Zona Romantica gets very boozy and cruisey at night. You’re sure to have a gay old time. Just avoid having a shot of tequila with every drink and you should be fine.</p><p><a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/mr-flamingo-puerto-vallarta/">Mr. Flamingo</a> is one of the most popular gay bars in Puerto Vallarta. It’s in the heart of Zona Romantica. You’ll see people spilling out onto the street as the night progresses. It’s a good place to mingle. For a civilized cocktail, head to <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/garbos-piano-bar-puerto-vallarta/">Garbo’s Piano Bar</a>. It’s named after the great diva herself. “Tener Garbo” is a Spanish phrase referring to anyone or anything that’s classy. Does that sound like you?</p><p>Head to <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/reinas-2-puerto-vallarta/">Reinas</a> for a truly surreal experience. It’s a gay bar dedicated to the British royal family. You’ll see pictures of the Queen and Princess Diana plastered all over the walls. The Prince Andrew photo may have been removed since we last visited, come to think it. Don’t miss Reinas for a dose of British eccentricity in Mexico. <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/pacos-ranch-puerto-vallarta/">Paco’s Ranch</a> is a must-visit. It’s considered to be the liveliest gay bar in Zona Romantica. You’ll see some amazing drag shows.</p><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-171611" src="https://static.travelgay.com/media/68299/almar-resort-puerto-vallarta-9.jpg" alt="Almar Lesbian Resort Puerto Vallarta" width="100%" /></p><h2><a href="https://www.travelgay.com/puerto-vallarta-hotels/">Gay-Popular Hotels in Puerto Vallarta</a></h2><p>Much of PV’s tourism industry is skewed towards LGBT+ travelers. Divine Dollars and Pink Pounds flow freely in this city and money sure talks. Pretty much all Puerto Vallarta hotels are either gay-friendly or very gay-friendly. One of the most popular hotels in Puerto Vallarta for gay travelers is the <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/almar-resort-puerto-vallarta/">Almar Resort</a>. It’s a “straight-friendly” hotel by the seafront. This is an upscale gay hotel, so you can expect chic rooms and excellent service. The hotel’s Top Bar is also worth checking out - it has great views over the city.</p><p><a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/secrets-vallarta-bay-puerto-vallarta/">Secrets Vallarta Bay</a> is a great 5-star choice on the famous Malecon boardwalk. Another popular choice for gay travelers is the <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/marriott-puerto-vallarta-resort-spa/">Marriott Puerto Vallarta</a>. It’s a little further from the nightlife but you can easily get to Zona Romantica and back in a taxi.</p><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-171610" src="https://static.travelgay.com/media/68300/almar-resort-puerto-vallarta-1.jpg" alt="Almar Gay Resort Puerto Vallarta" width="100%" /></p><h2>Experience Puerto Vallarta</h2><p>PV is in the state of Jalisco and it overlooks Banderas Bay. Across the bay you’ll see Punta Mita in the neighboring state of Nayarit. It’s well worth taking a boat tour around Banderas Bay. It’s full of dolphins and even some whales. You can explore the local caves and remote beaches.</p><p>Casa Kimberly is the former home of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. It’s now a luxury hotel. You can stay there if you have deep pockets. Failing that you can always pop in for a cocktail in a very swanky setting. The Malecon boardwalk is where you’ll find PV’s best shops. <strong>Read More: </strong><a href="https://www.travelgay.com/editorial/things-to-do-in-puerto-vallarta/">Things To Do In Puerto Vallarta</a>.</p><h2><a href="https://www.travelgay.com/puerto-vallarta-gay-saunas/">Gay Bathhouses in Puerto Vallarta</a></h2><p>There’s one gay bathhouse in Puerto Vallarta called <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/spartacus-spa-sauna-puerto-vallarta/">Spartacus</a>. It’s a good place to cool down and let off some tension, so to speak. It’s spread out over four floors. During the busiest months, it can get packed with men all looking for one thing and one thing only. It’s right in the heart of the gay district.</p><h2>Getting to Puerto Vallarta</h2><p>You’ll fly into Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR). A lot of flights from the USA or Europe will land in Mexico City. The connecting flight to PV takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes. You’ll fly over some very dramatic mountains as you approach PV. From the USA there are also direct flights to Puerto Vallarta from Los Angeles, New York City, Atlanta and other major hubs.</p><h2>FAQs about Puerto Vallarta</h2><h2>Getting around Puerto Vallarta</h2><p>Puerto Vallarta is pretty compact so you can walk. It’s very well pedestrianised. Your exploration should begin on the Malecon where you’ll find the famous Puerto Vallarta sign. An important spot for a photo opportunity.</p><h3>Taxi</h3><p>Taxis are your best bet if you aren’t walking, especially if you’re travelling from your hotel into town. Some hotels are very central so you won’t need a cab.</p><h3>Bus</h3><p>You can get the bus all over Puerto Vallarta. It’s cheap and it can be bumpy. They say you know you’re downtown in Puerto Vallarta when you start vibrating. Take your mind out the gutter, please. It’s because some of the roads are bumpy.</p><h2>Is Puerto Vallarta Safe?</h2><p>People worry about safety in Mexico. Puerto Vallarta is one of the safest cities in the country. The Sierra Madre Mountains surrounding PV protect it from hurricanes. Metaphorically, you could say the mountains also keep it safe from crime.</p><h2>How expensive is Puerto Vallarta?</h2><p>Doable by American standards but pricey by Mexican standards. Largely due to the amount of American money in the Puerto Vallarta property market. You can do PV on the cheap or you can do it in luxury.</p><h2>When To Visit Puerto Vallarta</h2><p>April - June is a good time to visit Puerto Vallarta. It’s slightly cheaper and less packed with tourists. High season runs from December - April.</p><p><em><strong>All photos courtesy of <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/almar-resort-puerto-vallarta/">Almar Resort.</a></strong></em>

There is no federal law allowing for joint adoption and second parent adoption by same-sex couples. Adoption is only permitted for same sex married couples in 21 of the 31 Mexican states and Mexico City

The ability for same-sex couples to legally adopt a child.

Illegal with a minor under 12, ambiguous rulings observed 12-18, universally legal 18+.

The difference between legal age of consent for homosexual sex and heterosexual sex.

The ability for MSMs (men who have sex with men) to donate blood or tissue for organ transplants. A deferral period refers to a waiting time before a man can donate after having sex.

In Mexico, there are no laws restricting to discussion or promotion of LGBTQ+ topics.

Censorship or prohibition of discussing, promoting, or teaching LGBTQ+ topics in media, schools, and in the general public.

In 2009, the Supreme Court of Mexico established in its Judgment No. 6/2008 (2009) that the right to personal identity and free development of personality includes the right to gender identity and to "sexual reassignment", which obliges states to provide access to the "rectification of name and sex legal markers". <br />
In 2018, the Court issued Judgment No. 1317/2017 (2018) where it analysed the most appropriate procedure to guarantee "sex-gender rectification in the Civil Registry". In summary, this judgment concluded that the type of authority (judicial or administrative) before which the procedure is conducted is irrelevant as long as the nature of the procedure is materially administrative. Specifically, it must (a) be comprehensive; (b) be based on free and informed consent, with no medical, psychological and/or pathologising requirements; (c) be confidential; (d) be expeditious and free of charge; and (e) it must not require surgical or hormonal treatments. Despite this, various Mexican have not unified their regulations and, in many cases, continue to require judicial processing and all sorts of evidence.

Article 1(3) of the Federal Act to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination (2003) includes “sexual preferences” as one of the prohibited grounds of discrimination<br />


Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

Most of Mexico's states have enacted laws that ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or sexual preference, as well as gender. Many states also explicitly ban discrimination based on gender identity in local laws. 

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity in employment, including hiring, promotion, termination, harassment, etc.

In 1998, Mexico adopted the ICD-10 classification, which contains codes for diagnosing transsexualism in adulthood and childhood, which authorize the initiation of medical transition.

Medical and psychological support designed to help individuals transition to the gender they identify with, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and surgeries.

Article 1 of the Constitution of Mexico was amended to prohibit discrimination based on, among other factors, sexual orientation.

Consensual sexual activity between individuals of the same sex.

In the 1600s to the revolution of the Second French intervention, Sodomy was heavily criminalized until Mexico adopted Spanish laws. Spanish laws still heavily criminalized acts of sodomy even though it was decriminalized in 1871. In 1901, there was a Dance of the 41s. The Dance of the 41s was 41 men dancing, 19 of them were dancing as women. 12 of the 19 men that were arrested were sent to a camp. In 2001, Sodomy was officially removed from Mexican Amendments. Number 41 has been seen as bad luck in recent Mexican history.

23/31 States of Mexico (and Mexico City) recognize same-sex marriage.

LGB people can serve in the military openly, Transgenders Can’t 

The ability for homosexuals to serve in the military and be open about their sexuality.

No laws seek to identify or prevent the enrollment of gays in armed services. High prevalence of harassment, encouraged leave, and dishonorable discharge if interpreted as homosexual.

Non-binary Mexican citizens can choose to have an X as their gender marker rather than choosing male or female.<br />
<br />
However, other IDs are handled on a state level basis and not all of them allow the X gender marker.

Legal recognition of non-binary, genderqueer, or third gender identities.
