Cancun is Mexico's Most Popular Gay Friendly Destination

By Ricardo d Argence

If you travel to the Yucatan Peninsula, you will find the beautiful paradise known as Cancun. You will see that the older part of the city is joined by bridges to the newest part of Cancun.

The newest part has become the main part for tourists and has become a resort destination to accommodate the ever-growing number of visitors. It was in 1970 that the tourist trade began to boom and today, there are more the 600,000 people who reside here on the lovely shores of Cancun.

The stunning turquoise waters and soft white sand beaches are among Cancun's features which keep tourists returning to the city time and time again.

Mexico is constantly becoming increasing popular amongst the gay community as it has a very friendly atmosphere, welcoming people from all walks of life not to mention the breath taking beaches.

Other than Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco are also popular gay friendly tourist destinations, but neither can match the popularity of Cancun. This is largely due to the natural beauty of the city, but it bears mentioning that Cancun offers many more gay friendly spots than do any of the other popular destinations in Mexico; there are beaches and resorts and some of the most lively clubs in the country to be found here.

There is a main strip in Cancun which houses the main resorts and hotels for both gay and straight tourists, and that is called Zona Hotelera. Approximately 15 minutes from this strip, you will find some of the best in nightlife with clubs galore.

It is said that the hottest spot where gay clubs are concerned is the Karamba Bar. This is one club that has been around since the 1980s and is still going strong. They offer nightly shows and they have an extra large dance floor that is always packed with people dancing the night away.

You can step away from the Karamba later on and wind down your evening at the slightly more low key Picante. This is a much smaller club but it does draw a lively and mixed crowd late at night. Along with the Karamba, Picante is a club you should make a point of visiting on your trip to Cancun.

If you are looking for some fun and exciting events to attend then you may want to visit in the month of May as Cancun hosts quite the shindig. This shindig is known as the Cancun International Gay Festival. This has been going strong for 5 years.

If you prefer the wintertime for traveling then you may want to visit during the month of November when the annual Cancun Riviera Maya Gay Fall Festival takes place. Keep in mind that no matter what time of year you visit, there is always plenty of things to do and plenty of places to see.

One thing you do not want to miss while in Cancun would be a trip to the Mayan ruins, truly an extraordinary vision to behold. Cancun is definitely the hottest gay friendly beach in Mexico.
