What to know before you land

Colombian prepaid SIMs are cheap but require a passport and Colombian address for activation at Claro and Movistar stores — impractical after a long-haul flight. An eSIM gets you Maps, Uber, and WhatsApp working before you've cleared Bogotá or Cartagena's taxi rank.

Best for: Bogotá and Medellín city breaks; Cartagena and Tayrona Caribbean trips; coffee-region tours through the Eje Cafetero; Amazon expeditions departing from Leticia.

Local tip: Cell service drops sharply in coffee-region mountains and on jungle rivers near Leticia — load offline maps and the Uber pickup details before you head out of the city.

Install and activate safely

  1. Confirm that your phone is carrier-unlocked and supports eSIM.
  2. Install the QR code while you still have reliable Wi-Fi.
  3. Keep the eSIM switched off until the plan instructions say to activate it.
  4. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and enable data roaming for that line if instructed.
  5. Keep your home SIM active only if you need calls or texts, and disable its data roaming.
