Peru is one of the most diverse and fascinating countries in South America, with a remarkable mix of big cities, mighty mountain ranges, green valleys, desert, Amazon rainforest and archaeological sites that are hundreds of years old. For the Jewish traveler, a kosher trip in Peru makes it possible to combine the journey with kosher food, prayers, Shabbat meals and a connection to the Jewish community.
About 2,000 Jews live in Peru today, and most of the Jewish community is centered in the capital, Lima. In addition to the local community, many Jewish and Israeli travelers visit the country throughout the year, especially Lima and Cusco.
A Chabad house operates in Lima, serving Jewish residents and travelers who come to the city. It offers prayers, Jewish activities, kosher food, and Shabbat and holiday meals. If you are planning a Shabbat in Lima, it is best to choose a hotel within walking distance of the Chabad house and register in advance for the Shabbat meals.
Cusco is one of the main stops on almost every trip to Peru, especially for those continuing to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. The city has a Chabad house that serves many travelers, so here too you can combine prayers, kosher food and Shabbat in a Jewish atmosphere.
The highlight of Peru is Machu Picchu, the ancient Inca city set among the Andes mountains and considered one of the most famous sites in the world.
In the Cusco area, it is also worth visiting the Sacred Valley and the mountain towns around it. The area combines impressive scenery, historic sites and a unique local culture.
You can continue to Lake Titicaca, one of the highest and most famous lakes in the world, and add it to your route if you want to explore more of southern Peru.
Arequipa is a special city at the foot of the Misti volcano, with an impressive historic center and dramatic views of the Andes.
If you want to vary your route, you can tour the Paracas area or head out into the Amazon and discover a completely different side of Peru.
The combination of ancient history, powerful nature and Jewish stops along the way makes a kosher trip in Peru an especially rich route. With good planning of accommodation, food and Shabbat, you can enjoy the main destinations in the country and combine an impressive travel experience with the needs of the kosher-observant traveler.
