For many travelers, South America represents adventure, breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and unforgettable experiences. But for Jewish travelers seeking meaningful kosher travel, the journey often includes something deeper — connection, spirituality, hospitality, and Jewish life far from home.
Over the years, Chabad Houses in South America have become an essential part of the Jewish travel experience throughout destinations such as Buenos Aires, Bariloche, Cusco, Lima, and Patagonia. These communities provide far more than kosher meals or synagogue services. They create spaces where travelers can reconnect, celebrate Shabbat, experience Jewish culture abroad, and feel part of a warm global community.
At Mundo Trip, Jewish travel is not simply about logistics or accommodations. It is about creating elegant and meaningful experiences that combine luxury travel, authentic local culture, kosher hospitality, and deep Jewish connection throughout South America

Jewish Life in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is home to one of the largest Jewish communities in Latin America and serves as a central hub for Jewish travel in Argentina.
The city offers:
Active Chabad communities
Kosher restaurants and cafés
Synagogues and community centers
Jewish cultural institutions
Elegant Shabbat hospitality
Luxury accommodations near Jewish areas
For many premium travelers, neighborhoods such as Recoleta and Palermo provide the ideal balance between sophisticated tourism and convenient access to Jewish life.
Chabad Recoleta & Cafe Luba
One of the most charming Jewish experiences in Buenos Aires can be found around Chabad Recoleta and Cafe Luba.
Cafe Luba, named after Lubavitch, has become a favorite destination for Jewish travelers looking for a refined kosher café atmosphere with European-inspired design, beautifully presented desserts, specialty coffee, and elegant hospitality.
The area around Chabad Recoleta offers a warm and welcoming environment for travelers seeking Shabbat meals, community connection, and Jewish experiences in the heart of Buenos Aires.
Through Mundo Trip’s local relationships, travelers can also coordinate private Shabbat dinners, holiday meals, and boutique Jewish hospitality experiences together with local rabbis and shluchim.
Chabad Bariloche & Jewish Patagonia
Patagonia is known worldwide for its dramatic landscapes, lakes, mountains, glaciers, and luxury nature lodges. In the center of this breathtaking region lies Bariloche — one of the most important destinations for Jewish travel in Patagonia.
Today, Chabad Bariloche plays a major role in the Jewish experience throughout southern Argentina.
Many travelers visiting Patagonia are surprised to discover how meaningful and emotional Shabbat in Patagonia can become. After days spent exploring lakes, forests, and mountain scenery, guests gather together for elegant Shabbat meals and Jewish experiences surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
At Mundo Trip, we work closely with local Jewish communities and Chabad Bariloche to help create personalized kosher experiences throughout Patagonia, including:
Curated Shabbat dinners
Private group hospitality
Kosher catering coordination
Holiday experiences
Jewish cultural encounters
Luxury kosher travel services
Jewish Encounters That Become the Highlight of the Journey
One of the most memorable moments during selected Mundo Trip journeys is the opportunity for travelers to meet local Chabad shluchim personally and hear their extraordinary stories.
During some itineraries, guests participate in intimate talks and inspirational evenings with Chabad representatives who share their experiences building Jewish life in remote parts of South America.
For many travelers, these encounters become one of the emotional highlights of the entire trip.
Hearing firsthand about:
Jewish life in Patagonia
Building communities far from major Jewish centers
The challenges and beauty of shlichut
Supporting travelers from around the world
creates a far deeper cultural and spiritual connection to the destination itself.
These experiences transform Jewish travel from simply “finding kosher food abroad” into something personal, meaningful, and unforgettable.
Chabad Cusco & Jewish Travel in Peru
Cusco has long been one of the most iconic destinations for Jewish travelers visiting Peru.
Located high in the Andes Mountains near Machu Picchu, the city attracts visitors from around the world looking for culture, history, spirituality, and nature.
Chabad Cusco has become internationally known for creating a welcoming environment where travelers can enjoy:
Kosher meals
Shabbat dinners
Jewish holiday celebrations
Community gatherings
Spiritual connection during travel
For many visitors, celebrating Shabbat in Cusco while surrounded by the Andes becomes a uniquely emotional experience.

Shabbat experiences
