Is there signal in El Cocuy National Park?

Very little. The high-altitude glacier trails run well beyond reliable coverage, so treat them as offline. Download maps, register with the park, and sort accommodation beforehand; you'll reconnect on the same plan back in the nearby towns.

Does one eSIM cover Villa de Leyva and Lake Tota?

Yes. The national Colombia eSIM covers all of Boyacá, so the same plan works in Villa de Leyva, Ráquira, Lake Tota and beyond. Town centres have dependable data, while rural and high-mountain areas are more patchy.

Good to know in Boyacá

Boyacá has no major airport of its own, so most travellers fly into Bogotá and drive three to four hours north; download offline maps for the mountain roads, where signal comes and goes between towns.

Best time to visit Boyacá

December to March offers the driest skies for Villa de Leyva and clear views of the El Cocuy peaks; the high Andean climate stays cool year-round, so pack warm layers.

Two simple ways to buy

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.

Boyacá eSIM: your local data guide.

Boyacá is Colombia's colonial and highland heartland, from the whitewashed plaza of Villa de Leyva to Lake Tota's beach, the pottery town of Ráquira and the glacial peaks of El Cocuy. A Boyacá eSIM keeps you booking a Villa de Leyva desert tour, finding Monguí's cobbled streets, or navigating the páramo roads without losing your way.

One eSIM for Boyacá and all of Colombia. It's the national Colombia eSIM — from $7.70/day with unlimited data, working the same in Boyacá as it does the moment you leave it.
