This is our gay guide to the city of Valparaiso in Chile, with our pick for the best gay friendly hotels to stay, LGBTQ hangouts, things to do, and more.<\/span><\/p><\/div>

Valparaiso could be Chile\u2019s gayest city of all.<\/p>

Santiago might be home to a large\u00a0gay scene in Bellavista<\/a><\/strong>, but for our money, Valpo is even more tolerant, open-minded and downright fabulous!<\/p>

Valpo (for short) is one of the country’s most popular draws, famous for its magnificent street art and unique architecture. Pablo Neruda, the famous Chilean Nobel Prize-winning poet, loved Valpo so much he set up one of his homes here. UNESCO was so\u00a0impressed, it added Valpo’s Historic Quarter\u00a0to its\u00a0World Heritage List in 2003<\/strong><\/a>, and The Guardian described Valpo as a\u00a0\u201cmini Berlin by the seaside<\/strong><\/a>\u201c<\/em>.<\/p>

As Chile\u2019s capital of culture, Valparaiso is packed with art, nightlife and creativity of every kind. This makes the city a hub for the nation\u2019s gay community and we felt more at home in Valpo than anywhere else in Chile.<\/p>

We fell in love with Valpo\u2019s stunning seaside location, it\u2019s amazing works of art and, of course, the drop-dead gorgeous locals. It goes without saying that by this point, Valpo is one of our favorite cities in Latin America.<\/p>

To show you how great Valparaiso for LGBTQ travelers, we decided to create a comprehensive gay guide to the city and its neighboring gay resort town Vi\u00f1a del Mar. From the most gay-friendly places to stay to the wildest gay bars and clubs, we will cover it all in our guide to Chile\u2019s coolest city.<\/p>

Let\u2019s get going with an in-depth look at the gay hotels of Valpo.<\/p>

Is Valparaiso safe for gay travellers?<\/strong><\/p>

Valpo is very safe for gay travellers!<\/strong>\u00a0Chile may be on the conservative side of the LGBTQ spectrum, but Valpo and Vi\u00f1a del Mar rank as one of the gayest places we’ve been to on the whole continent. It’s just so Bohemian here \u2013 hip, cool, super laid back. There are queer people everywhere and no one bats an eyelid.<\/p>

Valparaiso is famous for having a liberal and tolerant atmosphere. For many years it’s been the bedrock for local artists and musicians\u2026the city’s famous colourful street art is testament to this! As such, Valpo has a thriving gay scene with several hangouts like Pagano and M\u00e1scara, as well as many excellent gay friendly hotels. Booking a double room in Valpo? Never was a problem for us in any of the places we stayed at in this hip Chilean city.<\/p>

Gay hotels in Valparaiso<\/strong><\/p>

Valparaiso is Chile\u2019s cultural capital and an extremely liberal city. This means that gay travelers shouldn\u2019t have any issues booking a double bed in this quirky seaside city.<\/p>

Though we didn\u2019t find any outright gay hotels like those you can find in Puglia, Miami and Berlin, everywhere we stayed was super gay-friendly.\u00a0<\/p>

Below are some of our favorite hotels for LGBTQ travelers in Valparaiso, with something for all budgets and tastes.<\/p>
