The Guide to a Kosher Visit to Cartagena
Cartagena de Indias, Colombia's colorful colonial port city on the Caribbean coast, has become a popular destination for Israelis too - especially as a stop on a South America trip.
Chabad Cartagena
In the Bocagrande district, led by Rabbi Saadia and Esti Globerman. Runs a synagogue restaurant with fresh kosher meat and Israeli-Caribbean cuisine, daily minyanim, and festive Shabbat meals.
The Old City
Ciudad Amurallada, the walled city, is a World Heritage site worth including in a walking tour.
A Colombian adventure destination with a reliable kosher safety net - Cartagena suits backpackers and families alike.
Stay in the kosher area of Cartagena
Cartagena does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Casa Lubavitch Cartagena (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Cartagena.
