Staying connected in Latin America
Latin America rewards travellers who plan connectivity around a mix of buzzing cities and vast, remote landscapes. A single regional eSIM keeps you online across the most-visited countries, so a trip that strings together Peru, Bolivia and Chile, or Brazil and Argentina, doesn't mean hunting for a new SIM at every border. In the big hubs, think São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Lima, Bogotá, Santiago and Montevideo, 4G is widely available and 5G has been rolling out across major cities, so maps, streaming, video calls and ride-hailing apps generally work without fuss. Coverage naturally thins the further you get from urban centres. The Amazon basin, the Andean highlands, Patagonia, the Atacama desert and the Bolivian salt flats can leave you with weak signal or none at all, so it's worth downloading offline maps, tickets and a translation pack before long-distance journeys. City-to-city buses and the main tourist routes are usually fine. Because the eSIM is data-only, keep your home SIM in the phone if you want to receive the occasional call or text from home; the two run side by side and you simply use Flylo's data for maps, messaging, bookings and photo uploads. A little planning goes a long way here: check which countries your plan covers against your route, and you can move between destinations without ever touching a physical SIM.
Setting up your Latin America eSIM
Install before you fly and it activates when you land, so you're online the moment you arrive. Make sure Data Roaming is switched on for the eSIM line, which is normal for travel eSIMs and doesn't affect your home SIM.

FAQs about eSIMs for Latin America
Which countries does the Latin America eSIM cover?
It works across most of the region's popular destinations. Coverage does vary by plan, so it's worth checking the covered-country list against your itinerary before you travel to make sure every stop is included.
Does one eSIM work as I cross borders between countries?
Yes. Within the countries your plan covers, you stay connected as you move from one to the next, with no need to buy a new SIM or swap plans at each border.
Will it work in rural and remote areas?
Coverage is strongest in cities and along the main tourist routes. In remote areas like the Amazon, the Andean highlands or Patagonia, signal can be weak or absent, so download offline maps before heading out.
Does the eSIM include a phone number?
No, it's data-only. There's no number for regular calls or SMS, but you can call and message over data using WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal or similar apps.
Can I use my phone as a hotspot to share the data?
Yes. You can tether and share the connection with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's phone, just as you would at home.
It's unlimited data, so is there any catch?
You can use data freely, though on unlimited plans speeds may be eased back after a fair-use threshold to keep the network fair for everyone. For everyday maps, messaging, streaming and browsing this generally isn't something you'll notice.
Do I need to change any settings on my phone?
Once the eSIM is installed and set as your data line, switch Data Roaming on for that line. That's expected for travel eSIMs abroad and won't add charges to your home SIM.
Can I keep my home SIM active at the same time?
Yes. On a dual-SIM phone the Flylo eSIM runs alongside your usual SIM, so you can keep your home number for calls and texts while using Flylo for all your data.
Are eSIMs available in Latin America?
Yes. Flylo eSIMs work across Latin America on the strongest local 4G/5G carriers, with automatic network fallover so you stay online in cities, airports, on trains, and in rural stretches.

How do I activate an eSIM in Latin America instantly?
Install the eSIM before you fly — it takes 60 seconds on a modern iPhone or Android. The eSIM activates the moment your phone connects to a tower in Latin America, typically as you taxi off the runway.
Does Flylo eSIM in Latin America support 5G?
Yes — Flylo plans run at full 5G speeds in any region of Latin America where the local carrier supports it, and 4G LTE everywhere else. Unlimited plans include a generous daily full-speed allowance; beyond it, speeds may be reduced until the allowance refreshes — your data never cuts off.
