Description
Colombia is one of the most advanced countries in latin america in reference to legal protection and equal rights for the LGBTQ community. Then is not surprising to find in Bogota hundreds (right, hundreds) of places for gay entertainment (from mild to wild).
Together, I'll help you to locate around 30 places! Telling you tips about them. When we finish and you decide the one that suits you best, I'm taking you back to it so you can have a blast!
This experience is packed with stories about the neighborhood, security tips and descriptions about the places we are going to spot.
I know most of them because of my previous work at a gay rights related foundation.
With this information you can choose the place that suits you to have fun with the locals
Where to go? What to do? Where is safe? What NOT to do?
I can reply those and a lot more questions on our way.
We’ll start sharing stories about lourdes square. Then a couple of blocks ahead we’ll discover the colombian equivalent of the ABS, after that we’ll see a gay hotel nearby, later we’ll spot a few bars, a BH and we’ll finish at the largest gay disco in the world.

Great tour to get to know the best of Bogotá's gay life
The tour has three stages, which allow for an excellent appreciation of gay life in Bogotá. The guide is excellent, super prepared, and makes the tour very enjoyable by organizing it around the tourists' main interests. I loved it, it gave me a lot of very valuable information and I recommend it 100%

Great way to learn about Bogota nightlife!
We loved this tour to get to know the culture and sites of Bogota. Juan was incredibly knowledgeable about the LGBT experience in the city and his country. We loved learning about the history and being shown around so we could better enjoy the town on our visit.

This is an excellent tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to separate the tour into three sections. He was able to ensure we hit spots before they closed or after they opened to ensure we had an optimal experience. There were so many tidbits and extra pieces of information that we would never have known, especially as he showed us some of the best “hole in the wall” spots.

A wonderful introduction to gay Bogotá!
Outstanding tour with Juan. A wonderful introduction to Bogotá and highly recommended for early in your trip to orient you to gay nightlife, culture, shopping, and other extra curricular offerings around Chapinero. Juan is a first rate cultural ambassador and a very accommodating host, eager to facilitate an enjoyable visit. With the later tour time we had time to visit several locations of particular interest to me at length without any hurry. Bring extra cash for any add-ons you might be interested in. Juan’s open mindedness and good naturedness were refreshing and delightful in an otherwise somewhat chaotic neighborhood that would have been intimidating to discover on my own. He seems to know all the best places including dozens of hidden gems that I could certainly not have found on my own. Highly recommended!

Excellent and informative
Juan was an excellent guide. He tailored the tour to my desires and showed me a bunch of places that would have been difficult or impossible to find on my own. It was an excellent introduction to Bogota.

Essential LGBTQ+ Bogota Tour—Unlock the City’s Hidden Gems!
My partner and I had an incredible experience on Juan’s tour. He’s a fantastic communicator and listener, and his knowledge of Bogota’s gay culture is unmatched. Although we’d visited Bogota before, it wasn’t until this tour that we truly understood the depth and vibrancy of the LGBTQ+ scene here.
Juan’s insights saved us time, money, and confusion—he answered every question and shared tips you won’t find in any guidebook or online forum. We took all three parts of the tour, and each one was packed with valuable information and cultural stories. Staying in Chapinero made everything walkable and easy.
If you want to make the most of your time in Bogota, book with Juan. Even an online session would be worth it! This tour is a must for anyone looking to connect with the local LGBTQ+ community. Juan is simply the best—I wish every city had someone like him!
