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>

Gay Puerto Vallarta

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.

Legalized during French occupation; enduring acceptance lacks protection against open Gaysexual displays. 

The concept has never been illegal in Mexico, but in the times of the colony by Spain, sodomy was a grave felony. Those proven guilty were burned by the Holy Inquisition. In the independent period Gaysexuality was an administrative felony, that was charged by the police at discretion. This practice has been waning since the arrival of the modern democracy at the beginning of the 21st century.<br />
<br />
With the broad reform about human rights the protection of sexual preference was included in the federal constitution in 2011.<br />
<br />
http://dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle.php?codigo=5194486&fecha=10/06/2011<br />


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

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.

Only Mexico City, Nayarit and Michoacan transgender people can change document without surgery not required.

Since 2011, Article 1 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States (1917) (federal constitution) prohibits discrimination based on “sexual preferences”. 3 out of 32 subnational jurisdictions bans discrimination based on gender identity in its State Constitutions. 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 in employment, including hiring, promotion, termination, harassment, etc.

	At the level of the federal government authorities, Article 1(3) of the Federal Act to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination (2003) includes “sexual preferences” as one of the prohibited grounds of discrimination. This law applies to housing as per Article 9(XXI). Gender identity is not explicity mentioned

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity when applying for housing or discrimination by landlords / property owners.

The congress of Mexico’s northeastern border state Tamaulipas has voted to recognise same-sex marriage, making it legal across the country.<br />
<br />
Becoming the last of the country’s states to do so, Tamaulipas amended the state’s Civil Code on Wednesday, setting off cheers of “Yes, we can!” from supporters of the change.
