Buy eSIM data plans for Peru

A Peru eSIM is a prepaid mobile-data plan for your trip. Install it on a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone before departure, then select it as your data line within the plan's coverage area.

A Peru eSIM is a data-only plan you install before you fly, so the connection is ready the second you land. Touching down at Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport, skip the SIM kiosks and step into the terminal already online. Your eSIM picks up Movistar's 4G network, so there are no roaming fees to worry about and no card to swap. From the gate you can pull up maps, call a ride, check your booking and message home while you wait for your luggage. One scan before departure, and you stay connected from the coast to the Andes.

How eSIM works in Peru

Choose a data plan for Peru, install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before your trip, and follow the selected plan’s activation instructions. Your regular SIM can stay in your phone, while the eSIM gives you mobile data for travel apps, messaging, maps and browsing.

  1. Buy a plan

    Pick a destination, data allowance and validity period.

  2. Install your eSIM

    Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.

  3. 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 Peru

Lima · City guide

Lima

Lima spreads along the coast, and a Lima eSIM keeps you oriented from the historic centre to the Miraflores district. Use your mobile data to map walking routes, read up on a colonial facade, or follow the coastal cliffs at sunset. With coverage strong across the city centre, you can call a ride or check opening hours wherever the day takes you.

Frequently asked questions

Which mobile networks does the Peru eSIM use?

Your Peru eSIM connects to Movistar's 4G network. That gives you reliable mobile data across city centres and built-up areas, with coverage that can become variable in remote and high-altitude spots.

Will I have coverage on the way up to Cusco and Machu Picchu?

In Cusco and the surrounding towns, coverage is strong and you can rely on maps and messaging. Out on the trails and high mountain passes it can be variable, so it is best to download maps and tickets while you still have a solid signal in town.

Is one plan enough for the coast, the Andes and the highlands?

Yes. A single Peru eSIM works across the whole country, so the same plan covers you as you travel the long distances between the coast, the Andes and the highlands. Coverage is strongest in towns and cities and thins out in the most remote areas.

Will one Peru plan cover a multi-country trip?

This is a Peru-only plan, so it is ideal if Peru is your sole destination. For a wider South America trip across several countries, choose a regional eSIM instead so one plan follows you across borders.

When should I set up the eSIM before arriving in Peru?

Install it before you fly, while you still have Wi-Fi at home. The plan stays inactive until you arrive, then connects on its own when you reach Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport, so you walk out of the terminal already online.

Can I keep my own number and use a hotspot in Peru?

Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your usual SIM, so your own number stays active for calls and texts while the data runs through the Peru plan. You can also share that connection as a hotspot to a laptop or a travel companion's phone.
