Queer BA: The History of the Argentine Sexual Diversity + Community
Overview

Mobile ticket
Argentina is one of the most progressive countries in the world when it comes to LGBTQIA+ rights: in the last two decades the country was able to pass the egalitarian marriage law, allow Queer folk to adopt and even introduced one of the most comprehensive and progressive laws for trans and gender non-conforming people.
So how did this extremely Catholic nation become a beacon of light for enhanced rights?
Join us to learn about the history and fight that led us to where we are: from the abolition of criminal homosexuality to the first non-binary birth registration. Join one of our queer guides to visit iconic landmarks, fantastic NGOs and to learn about the ongoing fight for visibility, tolerance and inclusion.
During this tour we'll explore landmarks iconic to the fight and conquest of rights like the National Congress or the Jáuregui subway station. We will also visit an NGO.
For every tour, we donate to the NGOs fighting for visibility, inclusivity and tolerance.

5.00We 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

5.00This 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.
