The short answer
A Peru and Chile trip runs from Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu south to Arica, then on to Santiago and the Atacama. Some travellers fly Lima to Santiago, others take the border at Tacna. I priced the Latin America regional plans of six brands on the same day, read how each limits unlimited, and checked who leaves out Peru. For two weeks or a month I would buy Ringo Light. For three days or a bucket, a rival costs less.
Unlimited data at full speed in 18 countries, both of yours among them: 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.
Across 18 countries. $40.90 for a week of unlimited, with sharing limited to 1 GB a day.
20 GB a month for $26, renewing, cancellable after 3 months. Its Best LATAM plan leaves out Peru and Costa Rica, so skip it for Machu Picchu.
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 Peru and Chile, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places a Peru and Chile trip often includes, four in each country, with what your data does for you at each. Both are on Ringo Light's list. Signal is good in the cities and gone in the high Andes and the desert, so several tips are about going offline.
One plan for Peru and Chile: Ringo Light
Peru to Chile is a long way by road, from Lima down the Pan-American to Tacna and over the line to Arica, or a two-hour flight to Santiago. Either way a regional eSIM stays on through the border post, and you do not buy a second plan in Chile.
For about two weeks of unlimited, Airalo asks $60 and Holafly $62.90, both for 15 days. Ringo Light asks $47.99 for 2 weeks. A month costs $97 at Airalo, $99 at Ubigi and $99.90 at Holafly, against $65.99 at Ringo Light. Nothing renews, and I would buy it for this route.
Two country plans add up to more. Peru's 2 weeks is $40.99 and Chile's $44.99 on their own pages, $85.98 together, against $47.99 for the Latin America trip that covers both. For a month, $56.99 and $63.99 make $120.98, against $65.99.
Rivals win here and there. Airalo's 7 days of unlimited is $39 and Holafly's $40.90, both less than Ringo Light's 2 weeks. If you only visit Peru, its own plan at $40.99 is cheaper than the regional one, so read that page instead.
Which plans cover both countries
Ringo Light's 18 countries include Peru and Chile. Airalo's Latamlink, Holafly, Saily and Nomad all list Peru, according to the parent page. Ubigi's Best LATAM leaves Peru out, so it breaks the first half of this trip.
Chile is not named for each rival on the page I priced from, so I could not confirm it on every brand's list on the day. I did not find it reported as missing from any of the five. Check Chile on the brand's own page before you pay.
Coverage is good in Lima, Cusco, Santiago and Valparaiso. It thins in the Andes between towns, in the Atacama and in the parks of Patagonia, whichever eSIM you carry. I would download offline maps before the long drives.
If you want a data bucket: Airalo or Ubigi
- Airalo, $36 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB, with 20 GB at $49 and 5 GB for 30 days at $22. It lists Peru.
- Ubigi, $39 for 10 GB. It has 25 GB at $58 and 20 GB a month at $26 that renews. I would skip it for this trip because it leaves out Peru.
- Nomad, $39 for 10 GB. 20 GB for $65 on Claro, Tigo, Telcel and other local networks. Claro is one of the larger networks in both Peru and Chile.
- Saily, up to 10 GB. 10 GB for 30 days at $44.99, 5 GB at $31.99 and 3 GB at $20.99. It sells no 20 GB bucket and no unlimited plan.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. A fixed bucket is not what it sells: 2 weeks of unlimited is $47.99 and 30 days is $65.99. For 10 GB, Airalo, Nomad, Ubigi and Saily are each cheaper than its 2 weeks. For 20 GB, Airalo at $49 and Ubigi at $58 undercut its month.
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 Latin America it sells two trips on one eSIM across 18 countries, both unlimited at full speed: 2 weeks at $47.99 and 30 days at $65.99. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
The card to buy it is further up this page, after the side-by-side table.
Pick by trip
Airalo unlimited, 7 days, $39, or Holafly at $40.90. Ringo Light sells no week.
Airalo unlimited, 3 days, $19.50, with 3 GB a day at full speed. Holafly is $19.90.
Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $47.99, against $60 for 15 days at Airalo. My pick for the pair.
Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $65.99, against $97 at Airalo.
Airalo 5 GB for 30 days at $22, or 20 GB at $49. Not Ubigi, which leaves out Peru.
No travel eSIM does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports your number.
