Puno has no airport — how do I arrive connected?

You fly into Juliaca's Inca Manco Cápac airport, about an hour from Puno, then transfer by road. Your eSIM is a national plan, so it works on the drive down and around the lakeside town.

How much data do I need in Puno?

Most visitors do fine on 1-3GB here — a couple of days of maps, island-tour bookings and messaging. Coverage on the lake is patchy anyway, so heavy streaming isn't really practical out on the water.

Good to know in Puno

Puno sits at nearly 3,800m on Lake Titicaca, higher than Cusco, so pace yourself. The nearest airport is in Juliaca, about an hour away, so keep data on for the transfer and to confirm island boat times.

Two simple ways to buy

Puno eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

Puno eSIM: your local data guide.

Arranging boats to the Uros floating islands, timing tours to Taquile and finding your way up from Juliaca all mean reaching for your phone around Lake Titicaca. A Puno eSIM keeps you connected across the highland town and its lakeshore, ready to compare boat operators, book a homestay and share photos from the world's highest navigable lake.

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

On the ground

Where you'll lean on data in Puno.

Plaza de Armas

Check the cathedral and museum hours and arrange a lake tour from the central square with data in hand.

Puno Port & Malecón

Compare boat operators, confirm departure times and top up tickets before heading out onto Lake Titicaca.

Uros Floating Islands

Signal reaches the nearer reed islands, so you can share photos, but it weakens the further out you glide.

Taquile Island

Coverage is patchy on the island's terraced paths, so download your route and boat times before you sail over.

The practical bit

Getting around Puno on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Puno

inDrive— Name-your-price rides, the most dependable app around Puno and nearby Juliaca for airport transfers.
PeruRail— Operates the scenic Titicaca train and Andean Explorer between Puno, Cusco and Arequipa.
Yape— Peru's QR payment app, handy when island vendors and taxi drivers prefer it to cash.

How long to stay in Puno

Puno is usually a one-to-two-day stop, enough for a full day on Lake Titicaca visiting the Uros floating islands and Taquile, plus time to acclimatise.

How much data for Puno

Puno is usually a short stop with patchy lake coverage, so a light 1-3GB is plenty for maps, island-tour bookings and messaging; there's little point in a large plan you can't use on the water.

Coverage in Puno

Puno town and its port have decent 4G, and signal reaches the nearer Uros islands; it weakens noticeably as you cross Lake Titicaca toward Taquile and Amantaní, and on the drive from Juliaca.

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.

Puno eSIM questions, answered.

Near the shore and the closer Uros floating islands, yes — you can share photos on Claro, Movistar or Entel. But signal weakens the further you sail toward Taquile and Amantaní, so download boat times and maps first.
