Shabbat-certified elevators (Shevet Ahim list)
Shevet Ahim publishes a list of 17 elevators it certifies for Shabbat use. They are in residential towers: Balboa Tower, Costanera, Pacific Park and The Palace in Bella Vista; Cresta Palace in La Cresta; Aventura, Lalique, Mirage, Península and Punta Roca in Paitilla; Pacific Point Torre 200 and Oceanaire in Punta Pacífica; and Coral Coronado at the beach. Each listing names the specific elevator and, for most, a maximum number of riders.
Good to know
Relevant if you rent an apartment rather than a hotel room. The certification applies only to the listed elevator and only while the passenger limit is respected. The image on the page dates from about January 2023, so ask the building or Shevet Ahim whether it is current. Hotel Shabbat elevators are not on this list.
