It's full of things to do, plenty of trendy bars, but most importantly, we left with a thirst to return for more. We stayed in Panama City for a week and loved it. The city is also the gateway to some gorgeous tropical beaches within Panama, like San Blas and gay friendly Bocas del Toro.

But unlike Dubai, this mighty Latin American metropolis has a far more welcoming gay life, in a country where although culturally conservative, is constantly striving for LGBTQ equality. Panama City is often nicknamed The Dubai of Latin America because of its immense economic growth in recent years and impressive dense skyline. Wise words from the Bible itself according to our gay friends Luis and Mario from Panama City… …and God said, “Let there be sexy people”, so he created Panamanians!
