A Latin America eSIM for Multi-Country Trips
Our Latin America eSIM is one prepaid data plan for 10+ countries, from Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica through Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, down to Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. It sits on your phone instead of a plastic card, so there's no SIM stand to queue at in Lima or Buenos Aires.
It suits the long, border-crossing trips this part of the world is known for: a few weeks in Peru before heading south to Santiago and Patagonia, or a Central America loop from Mexico through Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. One eSIM covers every leg, so you don't sign up with a new network in each country.
Every Latin America plan supports top-ups, and your remaining data shows in the EscapeSIM dashboard. You pay upfront, so your travel data spend is fixed from day one.
Latin America eSIM Coverage in 10+ Countries
The Latin America eSIM connects to major local networks in each country on the plan. Your phone automatically connects to available supported partner networks when you arrive, so crossing from Peru into Chile or from Guatemala into Honduras doesn't need a new SIM.
Capitals and big cities have the most dependable signal, including Lima, Santiago and Buenos Aires. Coverage thins in the high Andes and the Atacama Desert, and on long stretches of Patagonia you can go hours without signal on any network. In the Amazon Rainforest, expect little or none away from towns.
The plan also covers the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, plus the United States and Canada, handy if your flights connect through North America.
Use the same plan in Mexico, Peru, Chile, Argentina and the other covered countries, with no new SIM at each crossing.
All Latin America plans can be topped up, so a trip that stretches from three weeks to six just needs more data.
Check how much data is left before a long bus ride through the Andes or a few days off-grid in Patagonia.
Your regular SIM stays on for calls and texts, while the eSIM handles WhatsApp, maps and ride apps.

Why Travellers Pick Our Latin America eSIM
Built for Overland Routes
Many trips here cross three or four borders by bus. One eSIM covering 10+ countries saves hunting for a SIM shop in every new town.
Install the eSIM before you leave and switch your data to it when you land. At the next border, it's ready to connect again on a supported network.
WhatsApp is how hostels, tour operators and drivers stay in touch across the region, so having data the moment you arrive makes the first hour in a new country much easier.
Unlimited Options and Day Passes
Latin America plans include unlimited-data options, with one-day passes for a quick stop. Fixed allowances run from 1 GB up to 50 GB.
A one-day unlimited pass suits a long layover or a single heavy day of uploads, such as the evening after visiting Machu Picchu.
For lighter use, 3 GB plans last anywhere from a week to a month, and every plan can be topped up if you need more.
Honest About Remote Coverage
Cities and main tourist towns are well served. Remote mountains, deserts and jungle are where signal fades on every network.
Download offline maps before trekking in Patagonia, crossing the Atacama Desert or taking the Train to the Clouds from Salta into the Andes.
At high altitude and in deep valleys, data can drop for long stretches. Save tickets and booking confirmations to your phone in advance.
A Better Fit Than Home Roaming
Travellers flying in from Australia and elsewhere often pay a daily roaming fee to their home carrier. A prepaid Latin America eSIM swaps that for one upfront cost.
Turn off data roaming on your home SIM and let the eSIM carry your data, while your usual number still receives calls and texts.
Because the plan is prepaid, the data side of your trip costs what you paid, which helps avoid surprise data roaming bills on a long trip.

Where Data Helps in Latin America
Everyday moments on the road where having data on arrival makes things easier.
Arriving in Lima
Order a ride from the airport, message your hostel and check bus times south without looking for Wi-Fi.
Getting Around Buenos Aires
Follow maps between neighbourhoods, translate menus and book tango show tickets on the go.
Crossing Into Chile
Check your onward bus to Santiago and let people know you've arrived, once your phone picks up a supported network.
One eSIM Across the Region
Move from Mexico to Costa Rica, or from Peru to Chile and Argentina, on the same plan. Your phone picks up an available supported partner network in each covered country, and 24/7 support is there if you need help.
Who Our Latin America eSIM Suits
Book buses and hostels from Lima to Santiago and Buenos Aires on one eSIM, topping up as the trip grows.
Check weather and transfers in town before heading into Patagonia or the trails around Machu Picchu, with offline maps for the gaps.
Share photos from Chichen Itza and Mexico's coast, then carry on to Costa Rica without changing SIMs.
Pick an unlimited option or a large allowance for video calls from cafés and co-working spaces in Buenos Aires or Santiago.
Latin America eSIM Questions
It's a prepaid, data-only plan that you install on your phone instead of using a physical SIM. One Latin America eSIM gives you data across the covered countries, so you don't need a new SIM at each border. Your home SIM stays active for calls and texts.
It covers Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico and Uruguay, with the United States and Canada too. Brazil and Bolivia aren't on the plan, so check your full route before you buy.
Maps, messaging, browsing and some social media come to roughly 0.5 GB a day, so a week of light use fits in a 3 GB plan. Video streaming and video calls use about 1 GB per hour, so choose more or go unlimited if you do either. Track your usage in the EscapeSIM dashboard and top up if needed.
Partly. Towns near the main sights usually have signal, but high trails, remote valleys and much of Patagonia can be without coverage on any network. Download offline maps and tickets before you set off, and use town stops to send photos and catch up on messages.
Yes. All three are on the same regional plan. When you cross into the next country, your phone automatically connects to available supported partner networks there, so there's nothing new to buy. Keep data roaming switched on for the eSIM.
No. These are data-only plans without a local number. Your home SIM stays active, so you keep your usual number for calls and texts. Most hostels, guides and drivers in the region use WhatsApp, which works over your eSIM data for messages and calls.
For most trips, yes. Home carrier roaming usually charges a daily fee, which adds up over a long trip, while a prepaid Latin America eSIM is one upfront cost for your travel data. Install it before you fly, switch your data to the eSIM on arrival, and keep your Australian number for calls and texts.
It depends on your route. If you're crossing several covered countries, one regional eSIM with top-ups saves buying a SIM at each border. Choose a fixed allowance for light use, or an unlimited option if you stream or work online. Every plan is prepaid, with a usage dashboard and 24/7 support.
