Can I use this eSIM in El Bolsón and elsewhere in Patagonia?

Yes - it's a national Argentina eSIM, not a Bariloche-only plan. It works in El Bolsón, Villa La Angostura and across the country wherever the local networks reach.

How do I get around without Uber in Bariloche?

Taxis and remises are the norm and easy to book by phone or WhatsApp, and local buses serve the main circuits. Mobile data lets you message a driver or track a bus from anywhere with signal.

Good to know in Bariloche

Ride-hailing barely exists in Bariloche - locals rely on taxis and pre-booked remises, usually arranged by phone or WhatsApp, so keep data handy to call one from trailheads and viewpoints.

Two simple ways to buy

Bariloche eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Bariloche eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Bariloche — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Bariloche eSIM: your local data guide.

Bariloche is Argentina's Patagonian playground, where the best views spread around Lago Nahuel Huapi and up the slopes of Cerro Catedral. A Bariloche eSIM helps you follow the Circuito Chico by car, book a chairlift up Cerro Campanario, or message a remis for the ride back to your cabaña after a day on the lake.

One eSIM for Bariloche and all of Argentina. It's the national Argentina eSIM — from $5.39/day with unlimited data, working the same in Bariloche as it does the moment you leave it.

The practical bit

Getting around Bariloche on your eSIM.

How much data for Bariloche

A balanced 3-5 GB handles maps, remis calls and photo uploads over several days; add more or go Unlimited if you'll stream in the cabin or hotspot, and always cache offline maps for the circuits.

Coverage in Bariloche

Bariloche town and busy viewpoints have solid 4G on the main networks, but the Circuito Chico, Cerro Catedral's upper slopes and remote Ruta 40 sections thin out to weak or no signal.
