Best eSIM for Latin America (2026): 7 regional plans compared

For a multi-country trip in Latin America, Airalo's Latamlink is the cheapest fixed-data regional eSIM we found: $29 for 10GB over 7 days, or $49 for 20GB over 30 days. For "unlimited" data, Maya Mobile is cheapest at $19.99 for 7 days or $49.99 for 30 days, with full speed for 5GB a day. Our own NomadGB regional plan is the most expensive here ($49.99 for 10GB), so we only recommend it if you need its Central America and French Caribbean coverage.

How we compared: prices come from each provider's own website on 13 November 2026, and from our catalog the same week. We compared the cheapest plan, about 5GB, 10GB and 20GB, the "unlimited" plan for about a week, the number of countries covered, and whether big countries such as Mexico are included. Saily blocks automated checks, so its prices are "not checked".

Each "unlimited" plan has a limit: Airalo slows to 1 Mbps after 3GB a day, Maya to 3 Mbps after 5GB a day, Ubigi to 2 Mbps after 20GB in total, and our daily plan to 1 Mbps after 3GB a day. Holafly applies a fair use policy and limits hotspot to 1GB a day. For a month, Airalo also sells 10GB for $36 and 20GB for $49, and Holafly's 30-day plan costs $99.90.

Which countries each plan covers

This matters as much as price. A "Latin America" plan from one company is not the same list as another.

• Nomad: 17 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
• Airalo Latamlink: Airalo's page says 17 countries but does not list them on the page we read. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru are included. Check the list in the app before buying if you go to Central America.
• Ubigi Best Latam: 15 countries.
• NomadGB South America: 20 places: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin. It does not include Mexico or Venezuela.
• Maya Mobile: one global plan, so the same plan works across the region and beyond.

Best for each need

Airalo: cheapest fixed data

Airalo is the cheapest at every fixed size: $18 for 5GB, $29 for 10GB and $47 for 20GB (15 days), or $49 for 20GB over 30 days. Its unlimited week costs $39 with a 3GB daily cap. The limitation is short validity on the cheapest sizes, so pick the 30-day version for a long trip.

Maya Mobile: cheapest unlimited

Maya Mobile costs $19.99 for 7 days and $49.99 for 30 days, with 5GB a day at full speed and then 3 Mbps. Because it is a global plan, it also covers Mexico and stopovers in the US. It has no small fixed plans.

Nomad: best country list for Mexico plus South America

Nomad (nomadesim.com, also called getnomad.app; not our brand NomadGB) charges $29 for 5GB, $39 for 10GB and $65 for 20GB, all 30 days. Its 17 countries include Mexico, which our plan does not. Nomad says its eSIMs support hotspot.

Ubigi: bigger buckets

Ubigi sells 10GB for $39 and 25GB for $58, both 30 days, across 15 countries. Hotspot is allowed. Its 7-day unlimited at $44 includes 20GB at full speed.

Holafly: unlimited with fewer rules

Holafly costs $40.90 for 7 days or $99.90 for 30 days. There is no stated daily cap, but hotspot is limited to 1GB a day.

NomadGB: only if you need our coverage

Our South America eSIM costs $28.49 for 5GB, $49.99 for 10GB and $94.99 for 20GB. That is more than Airalo, Nomad and Ubigi at every size, and our daily plan ($203.99 a week) is far above Maya or Holafly. It covers Central America and some Caribbean islands, and it lists Movistar, Claro, Tigo, TIM, Vivo, WOM, Antel and Digicel among its networks. Honest advice: if you spend most of your time in one or two countries, two of our single-country plans are often cheaper than any regional plan, for example our Colombia eSIM at $17.99 for 10GB or our Brazil eSIM at $15.49 for 10GB.

Which one should you pick?

• Two or more countries, normal use: Airalo, $49 for 20GB over 30 days.
• Heavy data or streaming: Maya, $49.99 for 30 days (5GB a day cap).
• Mexico plus South America: Nomad or Maya. Our regional plan does not cover Mexico.
• Central America and French Caribbean islands: NomadGB, though it costs more.
• Hotspot for a laptop: Nomad, Ubigi or Maya. Holafly limits it to 1GB a day.
• Mostly one country: buy a single-country plan; it is almost always cheaper per GB.
