Borders on your route
The eSIM keeps working between Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Ecuador. Two popular routes cross into Bolivia, which it does not cover.
- Iguazú Falls
- The falls span the border between Argentina and Brazil, both covered, so the eSIM works on either side.
- Patagonia
- Torres del Paine in Chile and El Chaltén in Argentina are both covered, but there is no mobile signal on their trails.
- Atacama to Uyuni
- Tours from San Pedro de Atacama cross into Bolivia and end in Uyuni. Bolivia is not covered: plan those days offline.
- Lake Titicaca
- The road from Puno to Copacabana crosses into Bolivia, where boats leave for Isla del Sol. The eSIM works on the Peruvian side only.
- The Galápagos
- Ecuador is covered: phones work around Puerto Ayora, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and Puerto Villamil, but on a cruise the signal goes as soon as you leave port.

Questions about the South America eSIM
Which countries does the South America eSIM cover?
Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Ecuador, with one prepaid plan and one QR code for the whole trip.
What is the best eSIM for South America?
One that covers every country on your route. The South America eSIM on this page covers Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Ecuador with one prepaid plan and one QR code, and it keeps working when you cross a border.
Does it work in Bolivia?
No. The South America eSIM covers Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Ecuador. Tours from San Pedro de Atacama to Uyuni and the road from Puno to Copacabana cross into Bolivia, so plan those days offline.
Does it keep working when I cross a border?
Yes. The same eSIM keeps working in each country on the list, so there is no new plan to buy at a border.
Which network does it use?
In each country it roams on a partner network, and your phone shows that network's name.
Do I need to turn on data roaming?
Yes, for the eSIM line only: the plan roams on a partner network in each country. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM, so your home carrier cannot charge you for roaming.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number?
Yes. Your usual SIM stays in your phone with your number for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps the same number while the eSIM carries your data.
What if the eSIM does not work?
You get a full refund if it does not work and we cannot fix it, or if it is not delivered. Write to contact@esimamericas.com with your order link.
Good to know
How your eSIM works on this trip, and where to find help.
One eSIM for the whole trip: Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Ecuador. You buy it once, scan one QR code and keep the same eSIM when you cross a border, instead of buying a new plan in each country.
In each country it roams on a partner network, and your phone shows that network's name, so turn on data roaming for the eSIM line when you land.
You pay by card, and the QR code appears on your order page seconds after payment: bookmark that page or save the QR code before you leave it. Then you add the eSIM to your phone. When you land, choose the eSIM line for mobile data and keep your own number for calls and texts. Full refund if it does not work. The steps for iPhone and Android are in the help centre.
