Colombia eSIM for the Andean cities and the Caribbean coast
Compare Colombia eSIM offers against the entire route through Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena or Santa Marta. Count domestic-flight and transfer days, check Colombia in the territory list, confirm device compatibility, then compare the live allowance, validity and checkout total.
A Colombia itinerary often joins Bogotá, Medellín and the Caribbean coast by domestic flights, with a separate ground transfer at each arrival. Mobile data helps retrieve boarding details, compare the official airport options and message a host; it does not replace a ticket or establish continuous reception on mountain roads, islands or Tayrona trails. Save each terminal, lodging entrance, park instruction and return booking offline before leaving a staffed point.

How eSIM works in Colombia
Before the first flight, install the Colombia profile on an unlocked, eSIM-compatible phone and keep the setup record somewhere else. Installation does not consume validity. After landing in Colombia, assign mobile data to Horizon and enable roaming only on that line. The first successful connection to a supported network activates the package and starts its purchased term. Protect the home SIM from unintended data use, then save each domestic boarding pass and airport-to-address handoff.
Install your eSIM
Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.
Land & connect
Data activates on first connection at your destination.
Size it to your trip
Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.

In total, a 5 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,700 shared photos, 83 hours of social media and browsing, 15 hours of video calls, 63 hours of music streaming, or about 1000 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.
Important cities in Colombia
Bogotá · City guide
Bogotá
At Bogotá's El Dorado Airport, check the current official transport page or marked desk before choosing a ride, then save the exact entrance in the city. For La Candelaria or a Monserrate visit, keep the return point and lodging contact offline because a place name alone may not identify the correct pickup.
Bogotá eSIM — set up before you fly →Cartagena · City guide
Cartagena
In Cartagena, separate the airport or bus arrival from the final entrance inside or outside the walled city. For Rosario Islands or another boat outing, save the named dock, operator, outbound check-in and return meeting point; country coverage does not imply reception on the water.
Cartagena eSIM — set up before you fly →Medellín · City guide
Medellín
For Medellín, treat the José María Córdova airport handoff as a separate booking from movement inside the city. Save the Rionegro pickup, Medellín drop-off and accommodation entrance; for Comuna 13 or Parque Arví, keep the actual meeting point and return route outside the live map.
Medellín eSIM — set up before you fly →Santa Marta · City guide
Santa Marta
Use Santa Marta as the document checkpoint before Tayrona, Minca or a longer guided route. Confirm the park's current official visitor notice, your named entrance, transport and return, then download the booking and lodging contact before leaving the city or another staffed point.
Santa Marta eSIM — set up before you fly →Why Horizon
Match the plan to a flying itinerary
Choose around the whole Colombia route, not the first city. Domestic flight days add boarding passes, terminal changes and ground transfers; Tayrona or island days add bookings that should remain usable offline. Compare a national plan with the Latin America option if another included country follows. Hotspot use by a travel companion or laptop draws from the same allowance, so include it in the data estimate before buying.

Frequently asked questions
What matters when choosing a Colombia eSIM?
Count the complete flight-and-transfer itinerary, not just nights in the first city. Bogotá, Medellín and a Caribbean stop can add several boarding documents, pickups and lodging conversations; Tayrona or an island adds records that must work offline. Use those moments to estimate data, including a shared hotspot, then compare current allowance, validity, device support, listed territory and final price.
Can I install the Colombia eSIM before departure?
Yes. Complete installation while you still have reliable Wi-Fi, then switch the Horizon line off; installation by itself does not start the clock. In Colombia, select that line for data and enable roaming. Your purchased term begins only after the profile makes its first successful connection to a supported local network. Keep the QR details and profile while checking any arrival problem.
What communication does the Colombia eSIM support?
The plan is for data, so it does not issue a Colombian number or send ordinary SMS. WhatsApp keeps its existing account number for hotel, driver and tour conversations. If the phone supports two active lines, the home SIM may remain reachable under its own roaming charges. Hotspot sharing is free on every Horizon plan. Share carefully on flight-heavy trips because every connected device draws from one allowance.
How should I prepare for Cartagena, Medellín or both?
For Cartagena, save the airport or bus arrival, walled-city entrance and every boat dock and return. For Medellín, keep the Rionegro airport transfer separate from the city address and store meeting points for hillside outings. If visiting both, add the domestic boarding documents and each accommodation handoff before choosing the allowance.
How do I compare flights and road travel inside Colombia?
Compare the current timetable and the complete door-to-door chain for each leg: airport transfer, check-in, arrival terminal and the final pickup. A coach avoids airport formalities but may finish at a terminal far from the accommodation; a flight needs ground transport after landing. Save both candidate arrivals offline, then choose the connection that fits the booked handoffs.
Do I need Colombia-only or the Latin America eSIM?
A domestic itinerary, including San Andrés, calls for the Colombia option when all data days stay in the country; that still does not promise reception at sea or on every island. For an onward international leg, compare the regional list: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, El Salvador and Uruguay. Bolivia and Paraguay are not included, and another country outside the list needs separate coverage.
Data works in Bogotá but fails on the mountain roads — what should I check?
Reception can vary on passes between the interior cities, Tayrona trails, cable-car ridges and offshore routes, but location alone does not prove that terrain is the cause or that the profile is working correctly. In a safe place, open the plan guide on Wi-Fi, confirm the Colombia profile is enabled and selected for mobile data, and compare roaming, APN and network selection with the instructions. Keep the profile installed and use airplane mode only as directed by the guide or support. Check that Colombia is listed, then send support the order reference, handset model and problem location if the issue continues.
