Rio de Janeiro
Gay Travel Guide 2025
By a Local
For Gay Travelers
Hey, I’m Jonh — creator of Rio Gay Guide, your independent LGBTQ+ insider to the real Rio de Janeiro. This project was born to help gay travelers experience the city like locals do — with honest tips, real stories, and zero tourist clichés.
Here you’ll find curated recommendations for gay beaches, bars, saunas, and cruising spots — plus underground parties and off-the-map places that reveal Rio’s true queer vibe. Every suggestion comes from personal experience, not paid promotions.
If you want to go beyond the surface, grab the VIP Pass - it unlocks exclusive party free entries and discounts, a private cruising map, and one-on-one advice straight from me, like you’d get from a local friend.
Rio Gay Guide stays 100% independent and community-driven, created for travelers who want something real.
If my content helped you experience Rio in a better way, please take a minute to leave a review on Google — it really helps keep this project alive and independent.
