The best eSIM for Colombia and Peru in 2026.

One regional plan covers Colombia and Peru, but not every brand's does. I priced the brands on the same day, I say which plan leaves Peru out, and I say where a rival is cheaper than Ringo Light.

Cheapest unlimited eSIM for Colombia and Peru: Ringo Light, $47.99 for 2 weeks and $65.99 for 30 days (Airalo $60 and $97). Prices read 25 October 2026.

The short answer

There is no road between Colombia and Peru, so this trip is a flight, Bogota or Medellin down to Lima, then on to Cusco and Machu Picchu. I priced the Latin America regional plans of six brands on the same day and checked which ones leave Peru out. For two weeks or a month across the two I would buy Ringo Light. For three days or a bucket, a rival is cheaper.

OUR PICK
Cheapest unlimited for two weeks or a month

One eSIM for Colombia and Peru, unlimited data at full speed: 2 weeks at $47.99 or 30 days at $65.99, nothing renews. Airalo asks $60 for 15 days and $97 for the month.

Airalo
Cheapest 3 days and cheapest 20 GB

For a short hop to Cartagena or Lima: 3 days of unlimited at $19.50 with 3 GB a day at full speed, 5 GB for 30 days at $22 and 20 GB at $49.

Holafly
Simplest unlimited

Days, not gigabytes, in Colombia and in Peru. $40.90 for a week; sharing limited to 1 GB a day.

Ubigi
Long stays, but not for Peru

20 GB a month for $26 on a monthly plan that renews and can be cancelled after 3 months. Its Best LATAM plan leaves out Peru and Costa Rica, so it is the wrong plan for this route.

Prices read on 25 October 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

What to do in Colombia and Peru, and what your phone needs for it

Eight places that first trips to Colombia and Peru often include, from Cartagena and Bogota to Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu, with the one thing your phone does for you at each. The cities have good signal. The ruins and the high Andes do not always, so I would save tickets and maps offline.

The walled city of Cartagena, Cartagena, Caribbean coast
Cartagena, Caribbean coastThe walled city of CartagenaThe clock tower gate leads into the old town inside the colonial walls, streets of painted houses with wooden balconies and flowers. Walk it in the morning or at sunset; midday is very hot.✓Taxis in Cartagena usually have no meter. Check the fare in a ride app first, then agree the price before you get in.
Monserrate and central Bogota, Bogota
BogotaMonserrate and central BogotaThe church on Monserrate sits on the mountain above the city centre, reached by cable car or funicular. Go up on a clear morning for the view over the whole city.✓Bogota sits at about 2,600 metres and the weather turns fast. Check the forecast and the cable car status before you go up.
The Metrocable over the comunas, Medellin
MedellinThe Metrocable over the comunasCable cars climb from the metro up the steep hillsides of Medellin and are part of the city's transport. Ride one line up and back for a view over the whole valley.✓A maps app shows which metro line meets which Metrocable, so you change in the right station.
Cocora Valley, Salento, Quindio
Salento, QuindioCocora ValleyThe wax palm, Colombia's national tree, grows taller here than anywhere, on green hills that fill with cloud. Jeeps run from the square in Salento to the start of the walk.✓Signal is patchy on the loop trail. Download the offline map and the route before you leave Salento.
The Miraflores clifftops, Lima
LimaThe Miraflores clifftopsParks and a long walkway run along the cliffs above the Pacific, with the beaches and the surf below. Most travellers stay here or in Barranco next door.✓Use a ride-hailing app rather than a street taxi in Lima, and book the popular restaurants on your phone well ahead.
The Plaza de Armas, Cusco
CuscoThe Plaza de ArmasThe old Inca capital, with its cathedral and churches built on Inca walls, at about 3,400 metres. Spend a day or two here getting used to the altitude before you hike.✓The streets are steep and many are pedestrian. A maps app finds the shortest climb back to your hotel.
Machu Picchu, Above Aguas Calientes
Above Aguas CalientesMachu PicchuThe Inca citadel on a ridge above the Urubamba, reached by train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo and a bus up, or on foot on the Inca Trail. The dry season, May to September, is the busiest.✓Entry is by timed ticket on a set circuit. Save the ticket and your passport photo on the phone, since signal at the ruins is weak.
Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain, South of Cusco
South of CuscoVinicunca, the Rainbow MountainA ridge striped red, yellow and green by its minerals, at about 5,000 metres. Day trips leave Cusco before dawn and the walk up is short but steep at that height.✓Expect little or no signal on the trail. Download the offline map and tell someone your plans before the van leaves Cusco.

One plan for both countries: Ringo Light

I would buy one regional eSIM for this trip, not two country ones. You land in Lima off a flight from Colombia, and I would not want to be hunting for wifi at the airport to install a second plan. Ringo Light's Latin America eSIM costs $47.99 for 2 weeks and $65.99 for 30 days, unlimited data at full speed, nothing renews. Airalo asks $60 for 15 days and $97 for the month. Holafly asks $62.90 and $99.90.

I added up Ringo Light's country plans from their own pages. Colombia's 2 weeks is $45.99 and Peru's $40.99, $86.98 together, against $47.99 for the Latin America trip that covers both. For a month, Colombia is $56.99 and Peru $56.99, $113.98 together, against $65.99.

The exception favours the country plans. A month in only one of the two costs $56.99 on its own page, which is under the regional $65.99. If you know you will stay in one country, buy that country's plan.

Which plans cover both countries

Ringo Light covers Colombia and Peru on its 18-country eSIM, with Ecuador, Bolivia and the rest of the list in the Latin America post. Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad all list Peru, and the table shows Ubigi as the one that does not. Whether each rival lists Colombia as well, the post does not say one by one, so I could not confirm that on the day.

The rule for this route is simple. Skip Ubigi's Best LATAM plan, because it leaves out Peru, and it also leaves out Costa Rica. Saily's plan covers 12 countries and skips four in Central America, which does not touch this trip. Coverage is good in Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena and Lima. It thins out in the Andes between towns, in the coffee country's hills and on the Inca trails, whichever eSIM you carry, so I would download offline maps first.

If you want a data bucket: Airalo, with Ubigi only for Colombia

  • Airalo, $36 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB on the list, and the cheapest 20 GB at $49. Latamlink also sells 5 GB for 30 days at $22.
  • Ubigi, $39 for 10 GB. 25 GB for 30 days at $58, and 20 GB a month for $26 on a renewing plan with a 3-month minimum. None of it works in Peru, so it only suits you if you are skipping Peru.
  • Nomad, $39 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $65, on Claro, Tigo, Telcel and other local networks.
  • Saily, up to 10 GB. 10 GB for 30 days at $44.99, with 5 GB at $31.99 and 3 GB at $20.99. No 20 GB and no unlimited plan for the region.
  • ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. For 10 GB, Airalo at $36, Nomad at $39 and Ubigi at $39 all cost less than Ringo Light's 2 weeks at $47.99. For 20 GB over a month, Airalo at $49 is under its $65.99. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket. I would rather you hear that from me than at checkout.

What Ringo Light is

Ringo Light is the data eSIM Ringo sells to fund the full Ringo, a plan with your own number ported onto it. I write for Ringo, so weigh that. For Colombia and Peru it sells two trips on one eSIM across 18 countries, both unlimited data at full speed: 2 weeks at $47.99 and 30 days at $65.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM comes by email and installs with one scan, no app.

You will find the card to buy it higher up this page, just after the side-by-side table.

Frequently asked questions

Does one eSIM work in both Colombia and Peru?+
With Ringo Light, yes, among its 18 countries. Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad list Peru as well. Ubigi's Best LATAM plan does not, so I would not buy it for this route.
Which eSIM is cheapest for a Colombia and Peru trip?+
For two weeks or a month of unlimited, I would buy Ringo Light: $47.99 for 2 weeks and $65.99 for 30 days, priced on 25 October 2026. For 3 days, Airalo at $19.50. For a 20 GB bucket, Airalo at $49.
Is unlimited really unlimited?+
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo slows you after 3 GB a day, Ubigi after 20 GB on the week or 60 GB on the month. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed.
Should I buy two country eSIMs instead?+
Not for a trip that covers both. Ringo Light's two country plans cost $86.98 together for 2 weeks, against $47.99 for the regional eSIM. For a month in a single country, the country plan at $56.99 is the cheaper one.

How we compared, and our sources

Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi, Ringo Light

We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Colombia and Peru on 25 October 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.

We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.

Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.

Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

Written and priced by the Ringo team. Prices change often; if you spot one that has moved, tell us through the contact page and we will update the table.
