Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is quickly emerging as a new and attractive gay holiday destination for those seeking soemthing a little different. The gay scene merges into the social life with gay bars and shops scattered throughout the city, and of course the clubs are legendary. A gay guide and map is essential with the clubs and disco’s not opening until around midnight. But if walking around seems like too much hard work, remember a cross-town taxi ride costs less than £5.

Iguacu Falls

They are not the tallest nor even carry the largest volume of water, but the shear number of 275 Falls dropping over 82 metres justifiably makes Iguazu one of the great falls of the world. Set in a spectacular National Park of sub-tropical rainforest, the Falls span the Iguazu River – the natural frontier between Brazil and Argentina. [more details]

Buzios

Drive around 2 hours east from Rio and you'll find the small peninsula of Buzios – best described as Brazil’s Caribbean island in the sun. Like a many fingered hand floating on the Atlantic Ocean and connected to the rest of Brazil by a thin arm, Buzios has a distinct end of the road feel about it. [more details]

Paraty

An interesting four hours drive south along the coast road brings you to Paraty – pronounced Para-chee. Founded in the 18th Century, the town grew as an important link in the chain that took gold from the Brazilian mines to the Imperial Ruler of Portugal. With a sheltered harbour area, it was the port where gold was transported by boat to Rio for onward shipping to Europe. Today it is a national monument and is regarded as the best preserved example of a Portuguese colonial city. [more details]

Rio de Janiero

Rio has a beach culture dominated by the two great bays - Copacabana and Ipanema. Both have wide sweeping promenades along which you can strut your stuff or sit back with a cool drink and people watch. Centre piece for the boyz is the Farme Gay on Ipanema Beach - just a little to the east of the junction with Farme de Amoeda. Pick a spot here and you're sure to meet new friends - and not just the locals. For many an International Celeb has been seen here sporting the latest swimwear fashions. [more details]

Galapagos Islands

These are undoubtedly the ultimate destination for anyone wishing to come face to face with some of the world’s most astonishing wildlife - and you don't need to be a naturalist to appreciate them as the local guides are truly excellent. For nearly fifty years now, the islands and surrounding ocean have been a National Park and are now also a UNESCO World Heritage Site making them probably the most unspoilt place on earth.

Quito

Your main reason for visiting Quito will probably be as starting point for the Galapagos Islands - some 600 miles to the west in the Pacific Ocean. We won't even pretend these are remotely gay but then with some of the mating rituals of the wildlife, you do begin to wonder! [more details]

Lima

If you like bustle, then Lima the capital of Peru is just right for you. This modern capital city mixes ancient Inca Heritage with two centuries of Spanish Colonial rule in a location overlooking the Pacific Ocean in a climate where it never rains - or so they claim! [more details]

Machu Picchu

Few things can prepare you for your arrival at Machu Picchu - the fabled "Lost City of the Incas". First you take the local narrow gauge railway VistaDome train from nearby Ollanta station in the Sacred Valley or direct from Cusco and marvel as it hugs the river bank through gorges several thousand feet high. At Km 104 there is an additional cost option to leave the train and walk the last 7 miles of the Inca Trail to arrive in Machu Picchu by the original Inca Sun Gate. Alternatively, stay on the train to arrive at the bustling village of Aguas Calientes - some 2000 feet below the ancient citadel and take the motor coach up the twisty Hiram Bingham access road.
