I LOVE Colombia. Been twice, and road tripped the entire country in our campervan.
What I can tell you is, travelling to Colombia should mean vibrant cities, lush landscapes, amazing coffee — not frantic SIM hunting in Bogotá or stressing over roaming charges.
Whether you’re exploring Cartagena’s colourful walled city, working from a café in Medellín, or hiking in the Coffee Triangle, the right eSIM keeps your phone online without the fuss.
Let me tell you a quick story.
When I first visited Colombia, I landed in Cartagena, and this was way back before eSIMs even existed. Brad and I made our way to a local shopping mall that had a Claro store, so we could get a physical sim card for our phones. Oh my god, I still remember it today. It took 2 hours in the store ... .Two!! Not including the journey there and back.
We had to sit down, set up an account, provide addresses, passports, and even then they were so slow on the computers, then trying to sell us different deals when we just wanted some data to get the internet. And all trying to do it with the limited amount of Spanish I can speak.
It was the most frustrating experience, and it just took far too long.
I WISH eSIMs existed back then.
Because now, that problem would simply never exist. I will have the internet in Colombia as soon as I land…
In this guide, we’re covering the best eSIMs for Colombia in 2026, starting with Holafly as the top recommended choice, with deep details on plans, speeds, coverage, regional/global options and real pricing examples you can use when you publish.
Let’s dive in.
Holafly is consistently at the top of my travel eSIM recommendations — and for Colombia, it’s hard to beat.
They offer true unlimited data plans (no hard caps) at high 4G/5G speeds with straightforward pricing, easy setup, and coverage across the country.
You pick your duration (which you can customize so you only pay for what you need), you get a QR code delivered instantly, and once you land, you just turn it on. The whole experience is designed for people who want to travel with one worry less.
Holafly works on major local networks in Colombia (Movistar Colombia / Comcel (Claro) ), so you’re tapping into widely used carriers with strong city and regional coverage — meaning you’re less likely to drop connection while exploring off the beaten path.
With Holafly, the pricing simply depends on the duration of your trip. Typically, the longer your trip, the better value it is per day for unlimited data.
For example,
One day of unlimited data is £7.
Compare that to a trip of 2 weeks and it works out at £2.71 a day, which for unlimited data, is pretty darn good!
Because these are truly unlimited, you don’t need to worry about hitting a cap while uploading videos, using maps, streaming your favourite playlists, or remote working. However, it’s important to be aware that local carriers might have FUP.
Holafly goes beyond Colombia-only plans — and these options are worth knowing if Colombia is just one stop in a bigger trip (hey, if you get the chance, a full South America trip is worth it, and I have a complete itinerary here)
Bottom line: If you want zero data stress and the ability to roam Colombia from the Andes to the coast with confidence, Holafly should be your first pick — especially for longer trips or heavy data users.

Simovo is a travel-eSIM provider with a growing portfolio, including an unlimited-style eSIM for Colombia. What makes Simovo stand out is that they offer day-based high-speed data with daily resets — a style that sits between raw pay-as-you-go and a fixed data bundle.
Simovo’s unlimited data is advertised as having high-speed allocation per day (e.g., 500MB–2GB of full speed then slower speeds), giving you predictable performance without the risk of totally draining a big bucket of GBs early in your trip.
Simovo’s Colombia-specific unlimited data plans depend on how much high-speed data you want per day:
Simovo’s plans automatically reset high-speed each day — handy if you’re online every day and want fairly consistent speeds, although total data isn’t technically capped.
Simovo also provides eSIMs for other destinations and supports global or broader travel plans covering 180+ countries including Latin America — great if you’re travelling multiple countries.
Simify offers Colombia eSIMs with a range of data bundles instead of unlimited plans. They’re ideal for travellers who know roughly how much data they’ll use and want more affordable options without paying for unlimited data they won’t need.
Simify covers Colombia with realistic data sizes and shorter validity windows — a good fit if you’re on a short trip or don’t need huge amounts of high-speed data.
Simify usually offers tiered data packages such as:
These plans are often valid for 7–30 days, and you can mix and match based on your itinerary and usage.
Simify also offers broader regional and global data plans that include Colombia, allowing coverage across Latin America or even many worldwide destinations — perfect for multi-stop trips.
Maya Mobile offers a nice mix of fixed data bundles and unlimited-style plans (with daily caps). It’s often a cheaper option than premium unlimited eSIMs, while still giving you flexibility and 4G data coverage around Colombia.
Maya’s plans range from simple low-data options up to larger bundles that can handle a fair amount of browsing or posting content — perfect if you’re somewhere in between light and heavy usage.
Maya’s portfolio often includes:
You also often get Wi-Fi sharing and data top-ups — handy if you need more without buying a whole new eSIM.
Maya provides both Latin America regional eSIMs and broader global roaming eSIM plans that include Colombia, so you can stay connected across multiple countries.
Ubigi is a well-established mobile data provider (operated by Transatel under the NTT umbrella) offering eSIM data plans around the world — Colombia included. They’re known for reliable coverage and a wide range of options from light data to larger bundles.
Ubigi’s Colombia-specific plans include:
You can buy multiple plans on the same eSIM and top up as needed via the app.
Ubigi offers broad regional and global eSIM plans too — including Americas or worldwide options — great for multi-country trips while keeping the same eSIM active.
Most modern phones support eSIM — here’s the quick rule:
Remember: your phone must be unlocked to use an international travel eSIM.
Holalfy actually has a tool where you can check if your phone is compatible with an eSIM before you purchase.
For Colombia, Holafly is the top choice — unlimited data, easy setup, and plans that scale from short trips to long stays. If you want something cheaper or more flexible, Simovo, Simify, Maya Mobile, and Ubigi all bring value in different ways.
Just match the plan to your travel style and data needs, buy before you go, scan the QR, and you’ll be online from the moment you land.
