Will it keep working when I take the train to Machu Picchu?

It's a national Peru plan, so it works throughout the region, though the train ride down the valley passes through stretches with little or no signal. Coverage returns in Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes, and thins again right at the citadel.

Can I get a ride from Cusco airport with an app?

Yes. inDrive is widely used in Cusco and Uber operates here too, so you can arrange a fixed-fare ride from Alejandro Velasco Astete airport into the centre. Keep data on, as street taxis rarely use meters.

Good to know in Cusco

Cusco sits at around 3,400m, so altitude can hit hard on arrival — use your data to find a pharmacy or clinic, order coca tea, and take it slow before heading higher into the mountains.

Two simple ways to buy

Cusco eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

How long to stay in Cusco

Most visitors base in Cusco for three to four days, allowing time to acclimatise, explore the Inca capital and take day trips to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

How much data for Cusco

For a Cusco base with day trips, a balanced 3-5GB covers maps, ride apps, ticket bookings and plenty of photo sharing; choose more if you'll stream in the evenings or upload lots of video.

Coverage in Cusco

Central Cusco has reliable 4G on Claro, Movistar and Entel around the Plaza de Armas and San Blas; coverage thins on the steep outskirts, at Sacsayhuamán's edges and along the descent toward the valley.

Peace of mind

Your Cusco eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Cusco eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Cusco, no swapping your real SIM out.

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

One thing worth knowing

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
