LGBTQ Peru - Out Travelling

LGBTQ Peru

Summary:

Same Sex Relations: Legal

Same Sex Marriage: Not recognised

Changing Gender: Legal, without surgery

Discrimination of LGBTQ: No protection

Social Acceptance: Largely accepted

Travel advice: Discretion is advised with regards to public displays of affection.

Same sex relations in Peru have been decriminalised since 1991 and the country is home to two of the most LGBTQ friendly cities in South America, namely Lima and Cusco. While same-sex activity has been legalised and disclination against LGBTQ people banned, it is still a broadly conservative Catholic country, and same sex marriage is not recognised.

Peru is well known for its friendly population and LGBTQ visitors should not be discouraged from visiting, however we recommend practicing discretion when out and about.
