Punta del Este, Uruguay's upscale beach destination, becomes a magnet during the South American summer for a large Jewish community from Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.

613 Kosher Punta

On Calle 24 between 25 and 27, serving kosher food under the supervision of Or Israel Yeshiva Uruguay.

When to go

The summer season (December-March) is when the Jewish community and kosher businesses are most active - the city also has two synagogues.

A rare combination of an upscale South American beach and an active Jewish community - time your visit to peak season.

Stay in the kosher area of Punta del Este

Punta del Este does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. 613 Kosher Punta (kosher restaurant listed on the site) is the anchor - book somewhere near it, especially during the South American summer season.

To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
