The short answer
Ringo Light is the cheapest unlimited eSIM for Colombia: $45.99 for 2 weeks and $56.99 for 30 days, unlimited data at full speed on a local partner network, priced 11 November 2026. Airalo asks $48.50 for 15 days and $92 for 30 days. I would pick Airalo for 3 days at $12.50, and Nomad or Ubigi for 10 GB at $25 on Movistar.
Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $45.99 or 30 days at $56.99, nothing renews. Airalo asks $48.50 for 15 days and $92 for the month, Saily $48.99 and $98.99, Holafly $51.50 and $100.50.
3 days of unlimited at $12.50 and a week at $27.50 on its Chimba plan, with 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. 20 GB for 30 days at $39.
10 GB for 30 days at $25 and 20 GB at $39, on Movistar. Ubigi also sells 10 GB for $25. Nomad sells no unlimited plan for Colombia.
The only brand with a 20-day plan at $62.99 and a 25-day plan at $86.99, on top of 5 days at $19.99, a week at $28.99 and 15 days at $48.99. 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps.
Days, not gigabytes, on Movistar, with no daily cap stated for your own phone. $13.50 for 3 days, $28.50 a week; sharing limited to 1 GB a day.

What to do in Colombia, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places most first trips include, from the Caribbean coast at Cartagena and Tayrona to Bogota, Medellin and the coffee country, with the one thing your data does for you at each. The cities have good 4G and 5G; the parks and mountain roads are thinner.
If you want unlimited for two weeks or a month: Ringo Light
For two weeks or a month of unlimited data in Colombia, I count Ringo Light as the cheapest of the six: $45.99 for 2 weeks and $56.99 for 30 days. Most first trips to Colombia run about two weeks: Cartagena, Bogota, Medellin and a few days in the coffee country. For about two weeks of unlimited, Airalo asks $48.50 for 15 days, Saily $48.99, Holafly $51.50 and Ubigi $59 for 30 GB at full speed. Ringo Light charges $45.99 for 2 weeks, $2.51 less than Airalo. For a month, Airalo asks $92, Saily $98.99 and Holafly $100.50; Ringo Light asks $56.99, and nothing renews.
The next cheapest month is Airalo at $92, $35.01 more than the Ringo Light month. I read Saily at $98.99 and Ubigi's Latin America plan at $99.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo and Saily give 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi gives 30 GB for 15 days, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole 7 days, 2 weeks or 30 days. That is the line I read first.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day plan, so for 3 days I would buy elsewhere: Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $12.50 and Holafly $13.50, both less than Ringo Light's 7 days at $16.99. For a week, Ringo Light's 7 days at $16.99 costs less than Airalo's $27.50 and Holafly's $28.50.
Which network works best in Colombia
Colombia has four networks: Claro, the largest, with the widest reach outside the cities, then Movistar, Tigo and WOM. All of them cover Bogota, Medellin, Cali and Cartagena. None of the travel eSIMs here names Claro, and I would not guess. Holafly and Nomad ride Movistar and Ubigi Movistar and Tigo; Airalo and Saily do not name theirs.
Holafly's own page says coverage can be weaker in the mountains, in the rainforest and on roads far from towns, for example on parts of the trek to the Lost City. The same is true for every brand. If you are hiking in the Sierra Nevada or heading into Tayrona, I would download the offline map before leaving town.
If you want a data bucket: Nomad or Ubigi
- Nomad, $25 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB, level with Ubigi, and 20 GB for $39, on Movistar.
- Ubigi, $25 for 10 GB. On Movistar and Tigo, installed by QR code, no app needed.
- Airalo, $28 for 10 GB. Its Chimba plan, 20 GB for $39, buckets from $4.50 for 1 GB.
- Saily, $29.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $40.99. Read on saily.com, 22 October 2026.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. The 2 weeks is unlimited for $45.99 and the 30 days unlimited for $56.99. For a fixed amount of data, Nomad, Ubigi, Airalo and Saily are all cheaper in Colombia. I would buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket.
What Ringo Light is
Ringo Light is the data eSIM Ringo sells to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. I write for Ringo, so weigh that. For Colombia it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 7 days at $16.99, 2 weeks at $45.99 and 30 days at $56.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
In Colombia the 2 weeks is the cheapest unlimited of the six, and the month is the cheapest of the six too, $35.01 under Airalo, the next cheapest.
One more thing to know: the Ringo Light Latin America trip covers Colombia as well, at $47.99 for 2 weeks and $65.99 for 30 days, the same unlimited data with no speed cap on one eSIM that also works in the neighbouring countries. If you only need Colombia, I would buy the Colombia plan, the cheaper Ringo Light today; the Latin America page at /blog/best-esim-for-latin-america compares the other one with the same brands.
