Additional Information

In the area of LGBTQIA+ rights, Argentina has positioned itself as a global trailblazer. Over the past twenty years, the country has adopted same-sex marriage, permitted adoption by Queer individuals, and enacted one of the world’s most extensive and forward-thinking laws for transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. What accounts for this extraordinary progression in a predominantly Catholic nation? Join us to explore the historical journey and struggle that led to this point, from the decriminalization of homosexuality to registering the first non-binary birth. Accompanied by one of our queer guides, you’ll visit significant sites, exceptional NGOs, and understand the continuing struggle for visibility, acceptance, and inclusion. During the tour, we’ll traverse through significant spots symbolizing the struggle and acquisition of rights such as the National Congress or the Jáuregui subway station and even stop by an NGO. With each tour, a contribution is made to NGOs advocating for visibility, inclusivity, and acceptance.

Buenos Aires Queer History - We are home from our travels to Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. We wanted to let you know that at the top of list of wonderful experiences was the Queer Tour in Buenos Aires with Rodrigo on Good Friday March 29. Thank you for arranging it, complete with pick up at our hotel and drop off at the pier for the cruise with Vacaya.   Complete with luggage! Rodrigo was super friendly, knowledgeable and a great guide for our brief time in Buenos Aires. Important to keep the Argentina queer history alive. We highly recommend the tour with Rodrigo.  Working with Lunfarda Travel was a pleasure - especially Marianna & Sylvia.

Amazing stories of progress and future dreaming - This tour was a great look into the progress and struggle for LGBTQ liberation in Argentina. I would recommend this tour for those new to queer history and to experts as the guides language adjusted to the knowledge base of participants. Knowing I didn’t have much additional time in the city my guide also shared other facts while we were driving. The lunch time was a great opportunity to talk, people watch and have conversations about areas I wondered about. It was a highlight of my trip.
