How do I get to Chachapoyas, and where's the airport?

Many travellers fly into Jaén and transfer by road, or take a long-distance bus; Chachapoyas has a small airport too. The eSIM connects on arrival and works well in town for planning day trips.

Is one eSIM enough for this whole region?

Yes — it's a single national Peru plan covering Chachapoyas and everywhere else in the country. The limitation isn't the SIM but the terrain: expect offline stretches deep in the cloud-forest valleys.

Good to know in Amazonas

Chachapoyas has workable 4G, but Kuélap's cable car, Gocta's trail and the Karajía cliffs sit in deep valleys with little to no signal — download offline maps and screenshots before each day trip.

Best time to visit Amazonas

May to September is the drier season, giving the best trails and views at Kuélap and Gocta before cloud-forest rains peak from December to March.

Two simple ways to buy

Amazonas eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

Amazonas eSIM: your local data guide.

Amazonas — the northern highland region, not the jungle city — hides some of Peru's most spectacular sights: the cliff-top fortress of Kuélap, the towering Gocta Waterfall and the sarcophagi of Karajía, all reached from the base town of Chachapoyas. An Amazonas eSIM helps you coordinate cable-car times, guides and transfers across these scattered cloud-forest valleys.

One eSIM for Amazonas and all of Peru. It's the national Peru eSIM — from $6.29/day with unlimited data, working the same in Amazonas as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Chachapoyas (CHH)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.
