eSIM Guide for Peru
Your eSIM connects to major carriers in Peru:
Available networks: 5G
Peru is South America's most historically rich country — Machu Picchu and the Inca citadels of the Sacred Valley, the Amazon rainforest around Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado, the Colca Canyon (deeper than the Grand Canyon), the Nazca Lines, and Lima's world-class culinary scene that has produced five of the world's 50 best restaurants. Claro provides 4G and 5G coverage across Peru's main cities and the Inca Trail corridor, supporting navigation in Lima, booking Machu Picchu permits (which require advance purchase months ahead), and using transport apps. Data is essential for the Consettur bus system at Aguas Calientes (the base town for Machu Picchu) and accessing the altitude sickness monitoring apps for the Andes.
Claro's 4G/5G covers Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, Trujillo, Piura, Iquitos (Amazon city, accessible only by air or river), and main highway corridors. The Sacred Valley (Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero) has coverage at the archaeological sites. Cusco's historic centre (Plaza de Armas, Sacsayhuamán, Qorikancha) has full coverage.
Aguas Calientes (base town for Machu Picchu) has Claro coverage. The Machu Picchu ruins themselves have full coverage at the entrance gate and throughout the site. The Sun Gate (Inti Punku) on the Inca Trail has coverage. The classic Inca Trail from KM 82 has coverage in the first day's section but loses signal on the mountain passes (Dead Woman's Pass at 4,215m).
The Amazon region around Puerto Maldonado (Madre de Dios, Manu Biosphere Reserve) has coverage in Puerto Maldonado town. The Manu jungle lodges and river systems have no coverage. The Colca Canyon near Arequipa has coverage in Chivay town and at the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint.
Peru uses the sol (PEN). Spanish is the official language. Quechua and Aymara are co-official in regions. English is widely spoken in Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Lima tourist areas.
