Will my eSIM work on Ilha de Marajó?

Partly. The towns of Soure and Salvaterra have usable signal, but coverage is sparse across Marajó's vast buffalo ranches and beaches, and the ferry crossing drops out. Download maps before you sail.

Do the Alter do Chão river beaches have coverage?

Santarém and Alter do Chão village have reliable data, but out on the Ilha do Amor sandbar and the boat tours across Lago Verde, signal fades. Agree boatman pickup times before setting off.

Good to know in Pará

Belém's weather turns on a dime with near-daily afternoon downpours — keep a weather app handy, and note that ferries and boats to Marajó and Alter do Chão run to loose schedules where signal drops mid-crossing.

Best time to visit Pará

June to November's drier season exposes Alter do Chão's white-sand river beaches and eases travel; the December-May rains swell the rivers but bring lush, dramatic Amazon scenery.

Two simple ways to buy

Pará eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

Pará eSIM: your local data guide.

Pará is the eastern Amazon: Belém's Ver-o-Peso market and Estação das Docas, the buffalo-grazed floodplains of Ilha de Marajó and the astonishing river beaches of Alter do Chão near Santarém. A Pará eSIM keeps you online in Belém for its açaí-fuelled food scene and ferry times, before coverage thins on the boat crossings to Marajó and Combu.

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

Pará eSIM from $6.97/day — the whole bill, agreed before you fly.

Across the region

Where you'll lean on data in Pará.

Belém

Strong 4G and 5G across the city, the Ver-o-Peso market and Estação das Docas.

Ilha de Marajó

Limited coverage — usable in Soure and Salvaterra towns, sparse across the ranches.

Alter do Chão (Santarém)

Reliable in Santarém and the village, patchier on the river beaches and lake tours.

Ilha do Combu

Expect weak signal on the forested island just across the water from Belém.

The practical bit

Getting around Pará on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Pará

Uber— Reliable across Belém for the markets, docks and airport.
99— Brazilian ride app, a common option around Belém.
Cittamobi— Tracks Belém's city bus routes and their live arrival times.

How long to stay in Pará

Most spend four to six days in Pará — a couple in Belém for food and markets, then Ilha de Marajó or a flight west to Alter do Chão.

How much data for Pará

A light-to-balanced 2-3 GB usually covers it, since Belém has good coverage but Marajó and river days run largely offline; load maps and bookings in the city first.

Coverage in Pará

Belém enjoys strong urban 4G and 5G, but coverage genuinely thins across Ilha de Marajó's ranches, the river crossings and the beaches and lake tours around Alter do Chão.
