Walking to synagogues

No Orthodox shul within walking distance

The nearest Orthodox or Chabad shul we list is Bet Max ve Sarah, about 8.4 km away in a straight line (approximate pin). The route by road or on foot is longer.

Good to know

Fine for a weekday or golf stay; move to Paitilla/Punta Pacífica for Shabbat.
