Why choose a local Peru eSIM over international providers?

Most eSIM providers for Peru — Holafly, Airalo, Roafly — are international platforms that route your data through partner networks. That means you’re not always on Claro, and you’re getting a middleman between you and the network.

PeruSIM is different. We’re a local MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) based in Lima, operating directly on Claro’s infrastructure — the same network that covers 90%+ of Peru’s territory, including 5G in Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa. And unlike any international provider, our plans include unlimited minutes and SMS — not just data.

The practical difference: better coverage, local rates, and if anything goes wrong, our team is physically at Jorge Chávez Airport 24 hours a day — not in a chat queue in another timezone.
