Is there coverage at Inhotim?

Yes, generally. The Brumadinho art park has usable 4G around the pavilions and entrance, roaming on Vivo, Claro or TIM, though it can thin among the far wooded gardens. Download the park map as backup.

Will the eSIM work in Capitólio?

In town and at your pousada, yes. On the canyon boat tours of the Furnas reservoir and remote waterfall trails, signal comes and goes, so screenshot meeting points and times beforehand.

Good to know in Minas Gerais

Minas's historic towns sit on steep, cobbled hills where GPS can send hire cars down pedestrian-only lanes — cross-check your driving app against local signs and park on the outskirts of Ouro Preto.

Best time to visit Minas Gerais

April to September's dry season brings clear skies for the baroque towns and safer mountain driving; avoid the December-March rains that swell waterfalls but flood back roads.

Two simple ways to buy

Minas Gerais eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Minas Gerais eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Minas Gerais — 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.

Minas Gerais eSIM: your local data guide.

Minas Gerais spreads across cobbled colonial towns and high serra, so you'll want data for navigating Ouro Preto's steep lanes, timing the Maria Fumaça steam train to Tiradentes and mapping Inhotim's vast art park. A Minas Gerais eSIM also helps on the winding drives to Capitólio's canyons, where petrol stops and turnings are easy to miss.

One eSIM for Minas Gerais and all of Brazil. It's the national Brazil eSIM — from $6.97/day with unlimited data, working the same in Minas Gerais as it does the moment you leave it.

Ouro Preto & Tiradentes

Decent coverage in the historic centres, weaker on the mountain roads that link the towns.

How long to stay in Minas Gerais

A typical Minas trip runs five to seven days, looping Belo Horizonte with two or three baroque towns and perhaps Inhotim or the Capitólio canyons.

How much data for Minas Gerais

A balanced 3-5 GB fits a week of mapping mountain roads, translating menus and sharing photos; upgrade to Unlimited only if you'll hotspot or stream on the long drives.

Coverage in Minas Gerais

Belo Horizonte and the main towns carry reliable 4G with 5G in the capital, but coverage genuinely weakens on the serra roads, the canyon boat trips at Capitólio and the remoter reaches of the Serra da Canastra.

Minas Gerais eSIM questions, answered.

Very much so — the routes linking Ouro Preto, Mariana, Tiradentes and São João del-Rei wind through hills with few signs. Keep navigation running, though expect brief signal drops on the higher passes.
