For your visit to the magnificent Machu Picchu, HotelESIM generally offers reliable data coverage within the citadel itself and in the bustling town of Aguas Calientes. This ensures you can access digital tickets, maps, or share your incredible experience. However, as you embark on the more secluded sections of the Inca Trail or other treks like the Salkantay, expect connectivity to become quite limited or unavailable due to the remote mountainous terrain.

When visiting the otherworldly Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, your HotelESIM will provide reliable signal in the town of Uyuni and at the nearby 'Train Cemetery,' perfect for last-minute checks or sharing initial photos. However, once your tour ventures out onto the vast, remote expanse of the salt flats and during multi-day jeep tours to the colored lagoons, expect connectivity to be extremely rare.
