Lima
Claro and Entel Peru lead in Andean and rural coverage. Lima's Miraflores, San Isidro, and historic centre have fast 4G; 5G is in limited rollout. Cusco city has solid 4G across the Plaza de Armas and surrounding neighbourhoods. The Sacred Valley from Pisac to Ollantaytambo is covered on 4G along the main road. Aguas Calientes (the gateway town to Machu Picchu) has 4G; the Machu Picchu citadel itself has patchy 4G near the entrance and main overlooks, dropping to 3G or no signal inside ruins. The Inca Trail beyond Km 82 is largely offline. Amazon gateway cities (Puerto Maldonado, Iquitos) have 4G in town; the jungle interior is offline. Lake Titicaca ferry routes between Puno and the islands have 3G.
Plan size
How much data do you need?
Pick your travel style and trip length — we'll suggest the right Peru plan, no guessing.
Yes, in Aguas Calientes town and at the citadel entrance. Inside the ruins themselves signal is patchy (3G or no signal). Download offline maps and photos before the hike.
Is there coverage on the Inca Trail?
Signal is available at the trail start (Km 82) and diminishes quickly. Most of the 4-day Inca Trail is without mobile coverage. Plan accordingly.
What is the coverage like in Cusco?
Cusco city has reliable 4G across the Plaza de Armas, San Blas neighbourhood, and the airport. The Sacred Valley main road is covered on 4G.
Can I use this eSIM in the Amazon?
Gateway towns like Puerto Maldonado have 4G. Once you enter the jungle by boat, coverage disappears quickly. Satellite communication devices are recommended for deep-jungle travel.
Does the eSIM work immediately on arrival at Lima airport?
Yes. Jorge Chávez International Airport has 4G/LTE across all terminals. Activate your eSIM before departure and it will connect automatically on landing in Lima.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 7 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
eSIM in Peru

Best eSIM for travel to Peru
The best Peru eSIM combines wide coverage, clear pricing, and instant setup. Flysimio runs on Claro, Entel, Movistar, and Bitel — with Claro and Entel leading in Andean and rural reach, covering Lima, Cusco, and the Sacred Valley. Plans are prepaid with no contract and no roaming surprises, so the price you see is what you pay. Your QR code arrives by email seconds after checkout and installs in under a minute, every plan includes free mobile hotspot, and there's a 7-day money-back guarantee. Land at Lima's Jorge Chávez airport already connected — no airport SIM queue.
How to set up a Peru eSIM (step by step)
Getting online in Peru takes about two minutes. First, confirm your phone supports eSIM — iPhone XS (2018) and newer and most Android flagships from 2020 qualify. Choose your Peru plan on Flysimio and pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay; your QR code arrives by email within seconds. On Wi-Fi before you fly, open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iPhone) or Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM (Android) and scan it — a manual code is included too. Keep your home line as default until arrival. When you land at Lima or Cusco, your Flysimio line connects automatically to a Peruvian network — no kiosk, no physical SIM.
How much data do you need in Peru?
Most travellers over-buy. For maps, messaging, and email, roughly 300 MB a day is plenty, so a 3–5 GB plan covers a week comfortably. Add social media, photos, and music and you'll want about 700 MB a day — a 10 GB plan suits a two-week trip taking in Lima, Cusco, and the Sacred Valley. Heavy streamers, video callers, and anyone tethering a laptop should plan for 1.5 GB or more per day or choose an unlimited daily plan. One important note: signal is patchy inside the Machu Picchu ruins and largely absent on the Inca Trail and deep in the Amazon, so download offline maps and tickets first. Use the calculator above to size it, and top up mid-trip if you run low.
Using a Peru eSIM on iPhone and Android
Flysimio runs as a second line beside your usual SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while your Peruvian data flows over the eSIM — standard dual-SIM behaviour on iPhone XS and later and most Android phones from 2018. After installing, set the Flysimio eSIM as your cellular-data line and turn on Data Roaming for that line only; it simply lets the eSIM connect to Peruvian networks, with no roaming fees. Keep your home SIM on for messages and calls, or switch it off to avoid your own carrier's charges. If you're unsure about your model, the compatibility page confirms it before you buy.
Hotspot, calls, and texts on a Peru data eSIM
Every Flysimio Peru plan includes mobile hotspot at no extra cost and without throttling, so you can tether a laptop or tablet or share with a travel companion and use your full allowance freely. As a data-only eSIM it has no Peruvian phone number, but that rarely matters: WhatsApp — the default for messaging in Peru — plus FaceTime and Google Meet handle calls and messages over data, and your home number stays reachable on your primary SIM. You stay connected from Lima to the Andes without the per-minute charges of traditional roaming.
Short Peru trips vs. long stays
For a few days in Lima or a quick Cusco visit, a small 1–5 GB plan on a 7-day validity is the most economical choice. For a two-week trip taking in the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and beyond — or a longer stay — a 10–20 GB plan or an unlimited daily option lets you navigate, stream, and share without watching a meter. Because Flysimio gives you six months to activate, you can buy before you leave and the validity only starts when your eSIM first connects in Peru. No contract, nothing to cancel — the plan stops when it's done, and you can top up or rebuy for your next trip.
