Lima eSIM

Which eSIM should I buy for Lima?

Choose the AloOui Peru eSIM. It starts at $7.11 for 1GB over 7 days and runs on Entel Peru and Claro (up to 5G) and Movistar Peru (up to 4G). Install it before you fly and you're online the moment you land at Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM). The same eSIM covers Peru, so Cusco, Machu Picchu and Arequipa are included.

Arriving at Lima Airport (LIM)

Jorge Chávez International is in Callao, north-west of the centre. The trip to Miraflores or Barranco usually takes 45 minutes to over an hour depending on traffic. Use an official airport taxi, a ride app or the Airport Express Lima bus.

Data tip: turn on AloOui as you land, book your ride before you walk out and share the trip with someone at home.

Getting around Lima

• Ride apps: Uber and Cabify are the easiest way to cross the city
• Metropolitano: the rapid bus line linking the historic centre with Miraflores and Barranco
• Traffic: Lima's traffic is heavy, so allow extra time and check live traffic first
• On foot: the clifftop Malecón is perfect for walking and cycling

Where you'll use your data in Lima

• Miraflores: the Malecón cliffs, Parque del Amor and paragliding over the Pacific
• Barranco: the bohemian district of murals, galleries and the Bridge of Sighs
• The historic centre: a UNESCO site with the Plaza Mayor, the cathedral and the San Francisco catacombs
• Huaca Pucllana: an adobe pyramid right in the middle of Miraflores

South America's food capital

Lima is famous for ceviche, Nikkei and Chifa cooking, and some of the world's most celebrated restaurants, many of which need booking weeks ahead. The Larco Museum, with its garden café, is another favourite.

Data tip: book restaurants online and keep the confirmation on your phone, and check opening times, as many cevicherías serve lunch only.
