Latin America is the longest backpacking trail on earth: the Gringo Route strings together Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina on one ticket, and the digital-nomad capitals — Mexico City, Medellín, Buenos Aires, Rio — each swallow a month of remote work. A Jet eSIM for Latin America gives you one data plan across the whole continent: installed before you fly, running on the region’s major networks, connecting automatically in 18 countries the moment you land at Mexico City (MEX), Bogotá (BOG), Lima (LIM), or Buenos Aires (EZE). No airport SIM queues in three currencies, no roaming bill at home.
Why Jet eSIM
Three things separate an Latin America trip from other destinations when it comes to mobile data:
01
Nobody visits one country here. Central America funnels you south through Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica; the Gringo Route adds Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. Buying a SIM at every border means passport-registration roulette in five languages. The Latin America eSIM plans cover the whole trail on one allowance that reconnects by itself at every crossing.
02
Long immigration lines, then a SIM queue that takes cash-only and photocopies your passport — after a red-eye. An eSIM you install at home skips all of it, and with data on leading local networks you keep the same speeds locals get in the nomad hubs: Mexico City, Medellín, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo.
03
Latin America is where people stay: a month in Oaxaca, two in Medellín, a Patagonian summer. The Latin America eSIM plans run from 1 GB weekender packs to 50 GB / 30 days and unlimited options up to 30 days — with hotspot included on everything for laptop days in cafés.
Pricing
All plans run on the Latamlink network with 5G/4G/3G speeds across all covered countries. Data-only. Hotspot included. Top-up available while abroad.
Quirk worth knowing: the 10 GB / 30 days plan costs the same $27.90 as the 7-day version — always take the 30-day.
Setup
Choose a Latin America plan with the data amount and validity that match your route. You’ll receive an activation QR code by email within minutes of purchase.
Land anywhere from Tijuana to Tierra del Fuego and your Jet eSIM activates automatically. Maps, WhatsApp, and hotspot work from the first minute — and the plan switches to the strongest local network at every border. Just keep data roaming enabled.
Coverage
The plan runs on the Latamlink network, connecting to leading carriers in each country with automatic switching at borders. One plan, 18 countries:
Coverage is strong across cities, nomad hubs, and tourist corridors — Mexico City, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Medellín, Cusco, and Patagonia’s main towns included. Remote jungle, mountain, and desert stretches depend on local towers, same as any local SIM.
If you’re only visiting Mexico’s northern neighbors on the same trip, the North America eSIM covers the USA, Canada, and Mexico as a cheaper three-country bundle.

FAQ
Yes. Install before you fly; it activates on arrival — Mexico City, Cancún, Bogotá, Lima, Santiago, and Buenos Aires airports all included.
18, from Mexico through Central America and across South America — the full list is in the coverage section above. The USA and Canada are not; use the North America eSIM for those.
