KOSHER WITHOUT BORDERS PRESENTS
Kosher Iguazu Falls
Concierge kosher trips to Iguazu Falls and Rio or Buenos Aires, year-round — stay at Belmond Hotel das Cataratas
Belmond Hotel das Cataratas — Inside the National Park
The only hotel inside Iguazu National Park. A pink Portuguese colonial property, built in 1958, facing the cataracts.
Walk the trails at sunrise, hours before the day visitors arrive. Stay for the full moon walks, when the spray catches the moonlight and a lunar rainbow appears across the falls.
The Kosher Arrangement
Before the trip, we call each guest to design the menu together. We fly in the mashgiach from São Paulo with the kosher ingredients — meat, cheese, and local snacks — and the meals are prepared with the Belmond chefs under our supervision.
The culinary experience is designed to be among the most memorable meals of your travels, shaped together with the Belmond chefs and our kosher team.
Reserve Your StayThe Trip
Two cities. One arrival. Iguazu Falls at the close.
A six-day journey starting in Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires — Rio or Buenos Aires for the first half of the trip — then onward to Iguazu Falls and two nights at the Belmond Hotel das Cataratas, inside the national park.
Rio de Janeiro
Three nights on Copacabana.
Arrive Thursday morning. Settle in at the Fairmont Rio Copacabana on the beachfront. Shabbat is observed in the hotel, with kosher meals prepared on-site by our Rio kosher chef. Chabad Beit Lubavitch is a walk along the beach. The days are spent in the city — Sugarloaf, the Botanical Gardens, the streets of Santa Teresa.
Then, the Falls
Three days at Iguazu, two nights at Belmond Hotel das Cataratas. The Brazilian side first, for the panorama. The Argentine side next, for the depth. Then a final morning — the Macuco Safari boat to the base of the falls, the helicopter for the scale of it from above — before the flight home.
