Peru eSIM

No! This is the single biggest advantage of our eSIM. Peru has a strict law that requires tourists to register their phone's IMEI with their passport for a local SIM. Cellesim eSIMs are roaming-based, which classifies you as a "tourist" and makes you exempt from this entire bureaucratic process. You can buy online and connect instantly without any registration or fear of your phone being blocked. 

Yes, in key areas. This is the most important question.

• Machu Picchu: You will have a strong 4G signal in the town of Aguas Calientes and at the entrance/main plazas of the Machu Picchu citadel.
• Inca Trail: You will have a signal at the starting point (KM 82) and intermittently on the first day. After that, you will have no signal for most of the trek until you reach the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), where you will get a signal back to post your "I made it!" photo.

 This specific plan is valid only within Peru. This is a critical point. If you are on the "Gringo Trail" and take the bus from Puno (Peru) to La Paz (Bolivia), or cross into Ecuador, your connection will stop at the border. For this, we highly recommend our Latin America Regional eSIM. 

 To give you the best coverage in a country that is 50% high mountains, our eSIM connects to Peru’s premium providers, typically Claro or Movistar. Claro is widely regarded as having the best and most extensive 4G network, especially in remote mountainous areas like Cusco and the Sacred Valley, where other networks fail.

Yes. You will have strong 4G/LTE coverage in the main cities of Cusco, Arequipa, and Lima. You will also have a good 4G signal in the port city of Puno (Lake Titicaca) and in the main city of Iquitos (Amazon). However, once you go deep into the Amazon jungle on a lodge trip or far out onto the floating islands of Titicaca, you must expect the signal to be intermittent. 

 Yes. Uber and Cabify are the safest ways to travel in Lima, so reliable data is essential to book rides and avoid unsafe street taxis. 

 Signal is usually available at the base, but expect the connection to be spotty or lost near the high-altitude summit of Vinicunca.

 Yes. You will have strong 4G signal around the Huacachina lagoon, allowing you to upload sandboarding and dune buggy videos instantly. 

 Yes. Coverage is reliable in Sacred Valley towns like Pisac and Ollantaytambo, though signal may drop on the winding roads between the ruins. 

Look up your phone’s exact model number with the manufacturer to see if it’s listed as compatible, and make sure your phone is not carrier-locked. Seeing an EID number or an “Add eSIM” option in your settings is a good sign, but some phones have regional restrictions. If you’re not sure, please contact our support team before you buy.
