The best eSIM for Peru in 2026. Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Peru, priced on the same day: two weeks unlimited from $44, a month from $79, which to buy.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs sell a Peru plan and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six on the same day, for a week in Lima and Cusco, two weeks from Cusco and Machu Picchu to Lake Titicaca, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited. Peru is not our cheapest country, and this page says where a rival is the better buy.
Ringo Light: Unlimited with no daily speed cap, one payment, and the only plan that tops itself up. 2 weeks at $44.99, 99 cents more than Airalo's 15 days at $44 and 9 cents more than Holafly's $44.90. For the month we are not the cheapest: Airalo and Ubigi ask $79 against our $86.99, $7.99 less.
Airalo: Cheapest two weeks and month of unlimited. 15 days at $44 and 30 days at $79 on its Habla Telefon plan, on Movistar, with 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps.

Ubigi: Cheapest 10 GB, most full-speed data for a month. 10 GB for 30 days at $24, and 60 GB at full speed for 30 days at $79, then 2 Mbps, on Movistar.

Most first trips to Peru run about two weeks: Lima, then Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, often with Arequipa or Lake Titicaca. For about two weeks of unlimited, Airalo asks $44 for 15 days, Holafly $44.90 and Ringo Light $44.99 for 2 weeks. Airalo gives one day more for 99 cents less. Nomad stops at 10 days for $33, Ubigi sells no 15-day Peru plan, and Saily sells no Peru unlimited at all.
For a month, Airalo and Ubigi ask $79 and Holafly $79.90. Ringo Light asks $86.99, $7.99 more. Saily's Global plan is $59.99 for 30 days, but it gives 30 GB at full speed and 1 Mbps after that, and its listing is from June. If you are staying a month, Airalo or Ubigi is cheaper than us. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Nomad gives 2 GB a day. Ubigi gives 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. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $44.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $89.98 and a heavy month $131.98. For a heavy user, Airalo's 3 GB a day or Ubigi's 60 GB is the better deal in Peru.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Nomad sells 3 days of unlimited at $11 and a week at $25, the cheapest of the six.
Peru has four networks: Movistar, Claro, Entel and Bitel. Movistar and Claro reach furthest, and every travel eSIM here rides one or both: Airalo and Ubigi name Movistar, Holafly and Nomad Movistar and Claro. All of them cover Lima, Cusco, Arequipa and Puno. Signal thins in the high Andes, on the Inca Trail and in the Amazon, whichever network you are on, so download offline maps before you leave a city.
Ubigi, $24 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB, on Movistar, installed by QR code, no app needed. 25 GB for 30 days is $42.
Nomad, $25 for 10 GB. And the cheapest 20 GB at $35, on Movistar and Claro.
Airalo, $26 for 10 GB. Its Habla Telefon plan: 20 GB for $41, buckets from $4.50 for 1 GB.
Saily, $29.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $40.99. Its listing is from June; saily.com would not load for us.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $44.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $86.99. For a fixed amount of data, Ubigi, Nomad, Airalo and Saily are all cheaper in Peru. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited with no daily cap, not for a bucket.
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Peru it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $44.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $86.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $44.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
In Peru our 2 weeks costs 99 cents more than Airalo's 15 days, and our month $7.99 more than Airalo's or Ubigi's. Buy it if you want no daily speed cap and one payment; buy Airalo if you want the lowest price.
One more thing we would rather tell you here than let you find at checkout: our own Latin America trip covers Peru as well, and on the same day it cost $29.99 for 2 weeks and $59.99 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 Peru, it is still the cheaper Ringo Light to buy today; the Latin America page compares it with the same brands.
The card to buy it is just below this article.

You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in Peru, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from the coast at Lima and Huacachina up to Arequipa, Lake Titicaca, Cusco and Machu Picchu, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Signal is good in the cities; in the mountains it comes and goes, so offline maps and saved tickets matter.
The Miraflores clifftops, Lima. Parks 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 Huacachina oasis, Near Ica. A small lagoon ringed by palm trees and sand dunes, about four to five hours south of Lima by bus. Go late in the afternoon for the dune buggy and sandboarding trips at sunset. Keep your phone in a zip bag on the buggy, and book the bus back to Lima in an app.
The Plaza de Armas, Arequipa. A cathedral of white volcanic stone with the El Misti volcano behind it. Arequipa is also the base for trips to the Colca Canyon. Colca tours leave before dawn and signal thins in the canyon. Download the offline map the night before.
The Uros floating islands, Lake Titicaca, near Puno. Islands built of totora reeds on the lake, reached by a short boat ride from the port of Puno, at about 3,800 metres. The bus from Puno to Cusco takes most of a day. Book it in an app and download something to watch before you board.
The Plaza de Armas, Cusco. The 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.
The salt pans of Maras, Sacred Valley. Thousands of salt pools fed by a salty spring, worked since before the Incas, on a hillside above the Urubamba valley. Often paired with the round terraces of Moray on the same trip. Carry soles in cash for the entry ticket and the small shops; cards are not reliable in the valley villages.
Machu Picchu, Above Aguas Calientes. The 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. A 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.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Peru on 28 September 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.

For two weeks of unlimited data, Airalo at $44 for 15 days on 28 September 2026, against $44.90 at Holafly and $44.99 for Ringo Light's 2 weeks. For a month, Airalo and Ubigi at $79, against $86.99 for Ringo Light. For 3 days, Nomad at $11. For a 10 GB bucket, Ubigi at $24.
Airalo and Ubigi ride Movistar, and Holafly and Nomad Movistar and Claro. Saily does not name its network on its listing. Movistar and Claro cover Lima, Cusco, Arequipa and Puno well; in the mountains and the Amazon signal is thin on every network.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo slows you after 3 GB a day, Nomad after 2 GB, Ubigi after 60 GB for the month, and Saily's Global plan after 30 GB. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
You can buy a prepaid SIM in Peru, but the line has to be registered to your passport, usually at a carrier shop in town, which takes a queue. A travel eSIM needs none of that: you install it at home and it works when you land.
