City overview
Guatemala packs volcanoes, Maya cities and colonial streets into a country you can cross in a day. Antigua's cobbled centre sits beneath three volcanoes, Lake Atitlan fills a crater ringed by Maya villages, and Tikal's temples rise out of the Peten rainforest. The Jewish community numbers under a thousand people, almost all of them in Guatemala City, where an Orthodox congregation and a Sephardi society have both been established for a century. Three Chabad houses serve travellers - one in the capital, one in Antigua and one on the shore of Lake Atitlan - and each of them cooks. Kosher food, Shabbos meals and a minyan are all reachable on the standard Guatemala route.
Chabad House Restaurant, San Pedro La Laguna
Antigua · $$
The meat kitchen at Chabad of Pedro, and the only kosher hot food on Lake Atitlan. It serves travellers coming off the boats in San Pedro La Laguna, with Israeli-style plates and a communal room that fills up in the evenings. Because the crowd turns over with the lanchas, service follows demand rather than fixed hours - message ahead on WhatsApp to check what is cooking and when.
