Best eSIM for Peru: Real Prices Compared for Machu Picchu and Beyond

Peru rewards travelers who plan ahead — a Machu Picchu sunrise, the Sacred Valley's terraced hillsides, and Lima's coastline all deserve your full attention, not a frantic search for airport WiFi. An eSIM lets you land at Jorge Chavez International, switch on data before you've cleared customs, and have maps, translation apps, and rideshare working the moment you walk outside.

We checked live pricing across 120 providers we track for Peru, using real listed prices rather than promotional teasers. Here's what actually makes sense depending on how long you're staying and how much data you'll burn through.

Quick-answer picks

• Best for a short trip (a few days in Lima or Cusco): Orbit Mobile, 1GB for 30 days at $4.00 — cheapest entry point, and the full month of validity means you're not racing a 7-day clock.
• Best for unlimited data: Maya Mobile, unlimited for 7 days at $19.99, or unlimited for a full month at $49.99 — dramatically cheaper than any other unlimited option we found for Peru.
• Best mid-size bundle for a 2–4 week trip: Orbit Mobile, 10GB for 30 days at $22.50.
• Best for heavy data users (photos, video calls home, maps all day): eSIMo, 20GB for 30 days at $45.90.
• Best if you're not sure how much you'll use: Bcengi's pay-as-you-go plan, priced at around $4.86 per GB with no expiry — you top up a wallet and only pay for what you actually use.

Provider-by-provider breakdown

Orbit Mobile is the standout value pick across the board for Peru. Every tier — 1GB ($4.00), 3GB ($8.50), 5GB ($13.50), and 10GB ($22.50), all valid for a full 30 days — undercuts the equivalent bundle from every other provider we track here. If price-per-gigabyte is your main criterion, start here.

Maya Mobile doesn't offer fixed-GB tiers for Peru at all — it sells unlimited data only, priced purely by duration: $9.99 for 3 days, $19.99 for a week, $27.99 for two weeks, and $49.99 for a full month. That last figure is worth pausing on: Maya's 30-day unlimited plan costs a fraction of Ubigi's equivalent (see below), making it the clear pick if you want to stop thinking about data caps entirely.

eSIMo sits in the middle of the market with a full ladder of fixed-GB options: 1GB/7 days ($4.90), 3GB/30 days ($15.90), 5GB/30 days ($16.90), 10GB/30 days ($27.90), and 20GB/30 days ($45.90). It's a reasonable choice if you want more headroom than Orbit Mobile's tiers offer without committing to an unlimited plan. Real discount code active:

Revo eSim covers a similar range — 1GB/7 days ($4.09) up through 50GB/30 days ($157.51) — but its mid-to-high tiers run above eSIMo's and Orbit Mobile's equivalents (its 10GB/30-day plan is $30.95). Worth considering if you specifically need its 50GB ceiling, since none of the other providers we track offer a tier that large for Peru. Real discount code active:

Ubigi has the widest catalog for Peru, including some tiers no one else offers — a 7-day 10GB option ($22.00) and a 25GB/30-day bundle ($42.00) — plus unlimited plans at $35.00 for 7 days and $79.00 for 30 days. Those unlimited prices are the highest in our comparison, though, so unless you specifically need one of Ubigi's unique intermediate tiers, Maya Mobile beats it on unlimited value and Orbit Mobile beats it on fixed-GB value.

Bcengi is structurally different from the rest: instead of buying a bundle, you fund a wallet and get charged around $4.86 per gigabyte actually used, with no expiry date on the balance. There's no 7-day or 30-day clock running — useful if your trip dates are loose or you're combining Peru with other stops and don't want data going stale.

Why prices vary so much for the same data

The spread here comes down to a few real factors: how each provider negotiates wholesale roaming rates with local Peruvian carriers, whether a plan is fixed-GB or genuinely unlimited (unlimited plans build in a buffer against heavy users), and how each provider prices its "premium" high-data tiers versus its entry-level ones. It's not a sign that cheaper always means worse — Orbit Mobile's low prices reflect real bundle pricing, not a downgraded product.

Which plan fits your trip

A long weekend in Lima: Orbit Mobile's 1GB/30-day plan at $4.00 easily covers maps, messaging, and social media for a few days, and you're not paying for data you won't use.

The classic Cusco–Sacred Valley–Machu Picchu circuit (5–10 days): Orbit Mobile's 5GB or 10GB tiers ($13.50 / $22.50) give enough headroom for offline map downloads, photo uploads, and the occasional video call, without paying unlimited-plan prices for a trip this length.

A full month backpacking Peru: Maya Mobile's 30-day unlimited plan at $49.99 removes any need to track usage — genuinely useful if you're relying on your phone for navigation across multiple regions and don't want to ration data in remote areas.

Combining Peru with other countries on one trip: Bcengi's per-GB, no-expiry pricing means unused data doesn't vanish at a deadline the way a fixed bundle's does — helpful if your Peru leg is short but you're not sure exactly how many days you'll spend there.

Practical caveats

Coverage inside major cities like Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa is generally solid on eSIM, since you're riding the same local networks a Peruvian SIM would use. That said, mountainous stretches of the Sacred Valley and remote Amazon-basin areas can have patchier signal regardless of which provider you choose — this is a function of local cell tower density, not something any eSIM provider can price around. Download offline maps before you head into the Andes.

Before you buy, confirm your phone actually supports eSIM — check Settings for an "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan" option, or dial *#06# to see if an EID number appears. Our beginner's guide to how eSIMs work covers this in more detail if you're not sure.

Buying and activating in practice

Every plan listed here installs the same way regardless of provider: scan a QR code (or tap an install link) from your provider's confirmation email or app, and your phone downloads the eSIM profile in under a minute. You can do this the night before your flight, or even at your departure gate — the only requirement is a WiFi connection during setup, since you won't have cellular data yet. Once you land in Peru, open Settings, turn on the new eSIM line, and enable data roaming for it specifically — your primary line's roaming can usually stay off, which helps avoid accidental charges on your home carrier.
