The short answer
A trip through Latin America crosses borders: Peru into Bolivia, Argentina into Chile, Mexico down to Costa Rica. Six travel eSIMs sell one regional plan for that, and they do not cover the same countries. I priced all six on the same day, for a week, two weeks and a month, I read the fine print on unlimited, and I checked which countries each plan leaves out. Here is where each one wins.
Unlimited data at full speed in 18 countries, one eSIM: 2 weeks at $47.99 or 30 days at $65.99, nothing renews. Airalo asks $60 for 15 days and $97 for the month.
Latamlink, 17 countries: 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.
Days, not gigabytes, in 18 countries including Belize and Puerto Rico. $40.90 for a week; sharing limited to 1 GB a day.
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.
Prices read on 10 November 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 Latin America, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places most first trips to Latin America include, from Mexico to Patagonia, with the one thing your data does for you at each. All eight are in countries Ringo Light covers. Signal is good in the towns and thin in the national parks, so a few tips are about going offline.
If you want unlimited for two weeks or a month: Ringo Light
Most Latin America trips run two weeks to a month, often across two or three countries. For about two weeks of unlimited on a regional plan, Airalo asks $60 and Holafly $62.90, both for 15 days. For a month, Airalo asks $97, Ubigi $99 and Holafly $99.90 for 60 GB at full speed. Ringo Light charges $47.99 for 2 weeks and $65.99 for 30 days, nothing renews. For one week, Airalo's 7 days of unlimited is $39 and Holafly's $40.90, less than Ringo Light's 2 weeks. I would still pay for the longer plan if the trip runs past a week.
I read what unlimited means at each brand before I pick one. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi gives 20 GB for 7 days or 60 GB for the month, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Nomad and Saily sell no unlimited plan for the region at all. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole 2 weeks or 30 days.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $19.50 and Holafly at $19.90.
Which countries each plan covers, and where the signal ends
The regional plans are not the same map. Ringo Light covers 18 countries: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama, then Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile, plus the United States and Canada on the same eSIM, which helps on a connection through Miami, Houston or Toronto. It does not cover Venezuela, Belize or the Caribbean islands.
Airalo's Latamlink and Nomad cover 17 countries each and include Venezuela. Holafly covers 18, including Belize and Puerto Rico. Saily's plan covers 12 and skips Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. Ubigi's Best LATAM covers 15 and leaves out Peru and Costa Rica, so it is the wrong plan for Machu Picchu. I would check every country on your route against the list before you buy.
Coverage is good in the cities and towns everywhere on this page. It gets thin or stops in the Andes between towns, in the Amazon, in the national parks of Patagonia and at sea around the Galapagos, whichever eSIM you carry. Claro, part of the group that also runs Telcel in Mexico, is in most of these countries, and Tigo, Movistar and Entel cover much of the rest. I would download offline maps before heading out of the cities.
If you want a data bucket: Airalo or Ubigi
- Airalo, $36 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB here, 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. For a stay of three months or more, its monthly plan gives 20 GB for $26 a month, renewing, with a 3-month minimum. Remember it leaves out Peru and Costa Rica.
- Nomad, $39 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $65, on Claro, Tigo, Telcel and other local networks, and it includes Guatemala and Venezuela.
- Saily, up to 10 GB. Its Latin America plan now goes to 10 GB for 30 days at $44.99, with 5 GB at $31.99 and 3 GB at $20.99, read in dollars on saily.com. No 20 GB and no unlimited plan for the region.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Ringo Light sells 2 weeks of unlimited for $47.99 and 30 days of unlimited for $65.99. For 10 GB, Airalo at $36, Nomad at $39, Ubigi at $39 and Saily at $44.99 all cost less than its 2 weeks, which ends at 14 days. For 20 GB across a month, Airalo at $49 and Ubigi at $58 for 25 GB are cheaper. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket. I would rather you read that here than at checkout.
