Will my eSIM work on the ferries?

Coverage on the water is intermittent — usable near the coast, dropping mid-channel. On the short Chacao crossing you'll mostly stay connected; on longer Naviera Austral sailings expect gaps. Download your tickets and schedules before boarding to be safe.

Is Puerto Varas a good base for the Lake District?

Very much so. Puerto Varas sits on Lake Llanquihue with Osorno volcano views and strong data coverage, and it's close to Petrohué, Frutillar and the Reloncaví. It's an easy launch pad for day trips, with signal fading only on remoter excursions.

Good to know in Los Lagos

Ferries stitch this region together — the Chacao crossing to Chiloé and Naviera Austral routes south. Timetables and bookings are online, so keep data live, but download schedules too, as signal can drop on the water and rural approaches.

Best time to visit Los Lagos

December to March is the drier, warmer window for lakes, volcanoes and Chiloé; the rest of the year is notably wet, though that greenery is part of the charm.

Two simple ways to buy

Los Lagos eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

Los Lagos eSIM: your local data guide.

The Los Lagos region spans the postcard volcanoes and German-heritage towns of the Lake District, the emerald fjords of the Reloncaví and the misty, myth-rich island of Chiloé. A Los Lagos eSIM keeps you catching ferries, navigating between Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt and Castro, and finding Chiloé's palafitos and wooden churches as the weather shifts.

One eSIM for Los Lagos and all of Chile. It's the national Chile eSIM — from $5.20/day with unlimited data, working the same in Los Lagos as it does the moment you leave it.

Across the region

Where you'll lean on data in Los Lagos.

Puerto Varas & Puerto Montt

These lakeside and port hubs carry reliable 4G/5G for ferries, rideshare and booking excursions.

Chiloé (Castro & Ancud)

The main towns have decent coverage, but it thins in the island's rural interior and on back roads to hidden churches.

Cochamó & Reloncaví fjord

The valley and fjord see patchy-to-absent signal — download trail maps and tide times before you go.

Osorno volcano & Vicente Pérez Rosales

Coverage is limited around the volcano and Petrohué falls, so save park info and directions in advance.

The practical bit

Getting around Los Lagos on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Los Lagos

Uber— Ride-hailing around Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas for airport and town trips.
DiDi— A common alternative to Uber across the Puerto Montt area.
Naviera Austral— Ferry schedules and bookings for Chiloé and routes south towards Chaitén.
Recorrido.cl— Book intercity buses between Puerto Montt, Osorno and the Chiloé towns.

How long to stay in Los Lagos

Four to seven days lets you combine the Lake District around Puerto Varas with two or three nights on Chiloé, allowing for ferry crossings and unpredictable weather.

How much data for Los Lagos

A balanced 3-5 GB fits most trips, covering ferry bookings, maps and photos; consider more if you'll stream on rainy evenings or tether while island-hopping.

Coverage in Los Lagos

Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt and Chiloé's main towns have good 4G, but coverage genuinely thins on ferries, in Cochamó and Chiloé's rural interior, and around the volcano parks.
