Shabbat in Buenos Aires
The Buenos Aires option for a kosher Iguazu trip
Why Buenos Aires Works
Buenos Aires has the largest Jewish community in Latin America. The Alvear Icon Hotel in Puerto Madero is the only hotel in Argentina with two in-house kosher restaurants under rabbinical supervision — Glitter (deluxe glatt, Rav Yosef Chehebar) and Milk & Co (dairy + sushi). No need to leave the building for Shabbat meals.
For guests who want a community shul on Shabbat, Chabad-Lubavitch Puerto Madero (Blvd. Azucena Villaflor 770, C1107 CABA) is a 2-minute walk from the Alvear Icon. The Once / Abasto cluster is a short ride for weekday kosher variety.
