Will I have signal on an Amazon jungle lodge trip?

Expect not to. Coverage holds around Iquitos itself, but once your boat heads up the Amazon or Nanay to a lodge, signal disappears within a short distance. Download maps, tickets and messages before you leave the city.

How do I get around Iquitos without ride apps?

The city runs on motokars — the three-wheeled tuk-tuks that swarm every street — hailed on the spot rather than by app. inDrive works patchily, and many drivers and market stalls happily take payment by Yape.

Good to know in Iquitos

Iquitos has no road in — you arrive by plane or river boat. City 4G is decent, but the instant your lodge boat leaves for the Amazon, expect to be fully offline, so download everything you'll need beforehand.

Two simple ways to buy

Iquitos eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

Best value for lighter, shorter trips
Clear allowance — pay only for what you need

Iquitos eSIM: your local data guide.

Reaching the Amazon hub of Iquitos, haggling through the Belén market and lining up a jungle-lodge boat all mean staying online while you still can. An Iquitos eSIM connects you the moment you fly into this road-less river city, ready to arrange motokars, book a river cruise and message home before the rainforest takes you offline.

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

Landing at Coronel FAP Francisco Secada Vignetta International Airport (IQT)?

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

On the ground

Where you'll lean on data in Iquitos.

Plaza de Armas

Read up on the Casa de Fierro iron house and hail a motokar from the central square with maps on hand.

Belén Market

Navigate the sprawling market and its floating quarter, translating stall signs as you go — keep valuables close.

Malecón Tarapoto

Stroll the riverfront boardwalk, look up sunset-cruise operators and share Amazon views over the water.

Nanay River & jungle lodges

Coverage holds around the city, but plan to go offline the moment your boat heads into the rainforest.

The practical bit

Getting around Iquitos on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Iquitos

inDrive— One of the few ride apps working in Iquitos; otherwise the city runs on motokar tuk-tuks.
Yape— Peru's QR payment app, widely accepted in Iquitos markets, cafes and by motokar drivers.
Google Maps— Useful in town, but coverage and mapping fade fast once you head upriver into the jungle.

How long to stay in Iquitos

Travellers usually spend three to four days around Iquitos, with a night or two in the city and the rest at an Amazon lodge up one of the rivers.

How much data for Iquitos

In-city, a light-to-balanced 1-3GB covers maps, motokar arranging and messaging over a few days; there's no point paying for more, since jungle-lodge stretches upriver leave you offline entirely regardless of your plan.

Coverage in Iquitos

Iquitos itself has fair 4G across the centre, Belén and the Malecón, but being an isolated Amazon city, coverage ends abruptly once you travel upriver — jungle lodges are effectively off-grid for mobile data.

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.

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.
