Data from Lima to the Andes
In Peru the plan uses the Movistar and Claro networks. In Lima, Cusco, Arequipa and other big cities the connection usually works well. In the Machu Picchu area and on the Inca Trail coverage is weak or missing, so do not rely on it while hiking. Aguas Calientes is better. On Andean mountain roads, on Lake Titicaca and in the Amazon region the connection varies.
Excursions, transfers and guides are often booked on WhatsApp. Save your Machu Picchu tickets, train confirmations and accommodation bookings on the phone in advance, since the network may not work at the site. Download maps for offline use before Andean trips too, because the signal drops on mountain roads and in small villages.
A local SIM can be bought in a shop or at the airport, but registration takes time and there may be a queue. The eSIM is installed beforehand and the data starts on arrival. Your own number stays in the phone and calls go through data. Roaming on your own plan is often dearer than a separate data plan, so an eSIM suits a tour.
