How We Met Asher Cornejo & El Salvador Jewish Experience
I want to introduce you to someone I personally know and trust: Asher Cornejo, the founder of El Salvador Jewish Experience.
How I Met Asher
I met Asher back in 2024 during Sukkot. My family and I were in El Salvador celebrating my daughter's bat mitzvah, and we made our way to the town of Armenia. That's where we crossed paths with Asher and a Rabbi who supports the local Jewish community there. Link to article Below.

We sat down, had a great conversation, and I was immediately struck by his passion. We learned about what inspires him, what drives the community in Armenia, and what he envisions for Jewish travelers coming to El Salvador. It was a genuinely memorable experience.
What stood out most was how supportive and welcoming Asher was from the very first moment. When I reached out to him afterward, he was just as warm and helpful. One thing led to another, and we recently reconnected and learned that he's now running a full-fledged tour business built specifically for the Jewish community.
Why I Recommend Asher
El Salvador has transformed in a very short time. The country is safe, affordable, and packed with incredible nature and outdoor activities. Asher knows this country inside and out, and more importantly, he knows what our community needs when we travel.
He's deeply connected to the Jewish communities throughout El Salvador and is actively engaged with the Armenia community. If you've never seen a Jewish community like the one in Armenia, I'm telling you, it's a one-of-a-kind experience. Asher can host you, guide you, and ensure every detail is taken care of.
I personally recommend reaching out to him. Give him a call, tell him what you're looking for, and he'll take care of the rest.
What Asher Does
Asher runs a company called El Salvador Jewish Experience. It's a boutique travel service he built specifically for our community. He handles everything, and I mean everything, so you don't have to figure out logistics in a foreign country on your own.
What impressed me is that he's already done this for serious institutions. He's hosted programs for Yeshiva University in New York and Katz Yeshiva High School in Miami. He's also worked with families, private groups, and solo travelers. The guy has experience.
What He Takes Care Of
- Private transportation throughout your trip
- Kosher dining (yes, fully coordinated)
- Accommodations that he personally selects
- Cultural tours and outdoor adventures
- Shabbat and holiday coordination
- Logistical support the entire time you're there
He builds every itinerary around your group. Your pace, your interests, your religious requirements, your expectations. You tell him what you need, and he makes it happen.
Why I Trust His Approach
Look, I've seen how Asher operates. He's detail-oriented, he genuinely cares about hospitality, and he wants every person who visits El Salvador through him to walk away saying it was unforgettable. He's not just running a business. He's trying to put El Salvador on the map as a real destination for Jewish travelers, and honestly, after what I saw there, I think he's going to do it.
