What's the eSIM actually useful for here?

Mainly your time in Puerto Maldonado — confirming lodge pickups, booking your flight out and sending last-minute messages before heading into the rainforest, where you'll be offline and happily disconnected for a few days.

Is Puerto Maldonado well connected?

The town has decent 4G on Claro and Movistar, fine for maps, rideshares and calls. It's only once you leave by boat toward Tambopata or Manú that coverage disappears almost entirely.

Good to know in Madre de Dios

Jungle lodges around Tambopata run on generator power and satellite Wi-Fi only — expect no mobile signal beyond Puerto Maldonado, so send any updates before your boat leaves the river dock.

Best time to visit Madre de Dios

May to October is the drier season with the best trails and wildlife viewing in Tambopata, while short cold snaps called friajes can arrive between June and August.

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.

Madre de Dios eSIM: your local data guide.

Madre de Dios is rainforest at its wildest — macaw clay licks, oxbow lakes like Sandoval and the jaguar country of Tambopata and Manú. You'll base in Puerto Maldonado before a boat carries you deep into the jungle, so a Madre de Dios eSIM matters most for booking lodges, guides and flights while you still have a signal in town.

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