eSIM Guide for Uruguay
Your eSIM connects to major carriers in Uruguay:
Available networks: 5G
Uruguay is South America's most progressive and stable small country — Montevideo's UNESCO Barrio Histórico and rambla waterfront, the stylish beach resort of Punta del Este (South America's St-Tropez), the historic 17th-century Portuguese fortified city of Colonia del Sacramento (UNESCO), and the estancias (cattle ranches) of the interior. Claro provides 4G and 5G coverage across Uruguay's populated areas, supporting navigation in Montevideo, booking the ferry to Buenos Aires (Argentina), and using apps for the compact country that offers good connectivity across its towns. Data is essential for navigating the Montevideo Ciudad Vieja (old city), booking the ferry connections from Montevideo and Colonia, and accessing the Colonia del Sacramento visitor information.
Claro's 4G/5G covers Montevideo, Punta del Este, Salto, Paysandú, Rivera, Melo, Colonia del Sacramento, and main highway corridors. The entire Punta del Este peninsula (La Mano sculpture beach, Bikini Beach, Punta Ballena with the Casapueblo museum) has coverage. Colonia del Sacramento (the colonial Portuguese city accessible by ferry from Buenos Aires) has full coverage.
Uruguay's Atlantic coast (Punta del Diablo, La Paloma, La Pedrera) has coverage in the beach towns. The Laguna de Rocha biosphere reserve near La Paloma has basic coverage near the lagoon access. The Quebrada de los Cuervos waterfall (near Treinta y Tres) has coverage near the entrance.
The Uruguayan interior — gaucho estancia country — has Claro coverage in main towns. The salto del Penitente waterfall region and the Sierra Polanco hills have basic coverage near access roads.
Uruguay uses the Uruguayan peso (UYU). Spanish is the official language. Uruguay is one of South America's most socially progressive and safe countries.
