Every tour on this site can be done kosher. Here's how we do it:
- Packed food from a kitchen under Shevet Ahim's hechsher instead of the local lunch, on every tour that includes a meal.
- Nothing booked on Shabbos or Yom Tov. Long Friday trips move to another day so you're back well before licht bentching.
- Pickup from hotels in Punta Paitilla, Punta Pacífica and Bella Vista, near shul.
- In the city, lunch and dinner stops at restaurants under Shevet Ahim's hechsher.
- Your quote names the kitchen and the hechsher, so you know exactly what you're eating.
