Is the same eSIM good for the rest of Peru after Lima?

Yes. There's a single national Peru eSIM, so the plan you use in Lima keeps working when you fly on to Cusco, Arequipa or Puno. You don't need a separate SIM for each city — one plan covers your whole trip.

How much data do I need for a few days in Lima?

For maps, ride-hailing between Miraflores and Barranco, restaurant bookings and social posts, most short visitors are comfortable on 3-5GB. If you plan to stream or hotspot a laptop from your hotel, a larger or unlimited allowance is safer.

Good to know in Lima

Street taxis rarely use meters in Lima, so keep data on to book Uber, Cabify or DiDi at a fixed fare instead of haggling — and expect the coastal garúa mist to grey out the skyline for months.

Two simple ways to buy

Lima eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

The practical bit

Getting around Lima on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Lima

Uber— Widely used across Lima; live tracking and cashless fares from the airport to Miraflores.
Cabify— Popular Lima ride-hailing alternative with upfront fares; compare against Uber in heavy traffic.
Tu Ruta (ATU)— Official app for the Metropolitano bus corridor and Metro Line 1 routes and times.
Yape— BCP's QR payment super-app that most Lima cafes, taxis and market stalls now accept.

How long to stay in Lima

Many travellers spend two to three days in Lima at the start or end of a Peru trip, covering Miraflores, Barranco, the historic centre and its world-class food scene.

How much data for Lima

Lima is a big, connected city, so a balanced 3-5GB comfortably handles maps, Uber and Cabify trips, restaurant bookings and social posts over a few days; go Unlimited if you'll stream or hotspot a laptop.

Coverage in Lima

Claro, Movistar and Entel give strong 4G and growing 5G across Miraflores, San Isidro, Barranco and the airport; signal only really dips in some Centro Histórico basements and the outer hillside districts.

Peace of mind

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

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

Keep your number & WhatsApp

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.
