No. The LATAM plan covers Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and 11 others, but not Bolivia. Bolivia is on the Global plan and is sold as its own plan; add one of those to the same eSIM for this leg. Details in does a region plan cover every country in it?
In Bolivia your plan connects to Entel, Tigo, or Viva on 4G LTE, which handles maps, messaging, video calls, and streaming; 5G is not part of this plan. Your phone joins the network automatically once the plan is switched on. If it hasn't connected a minute after landing, work through the no-signal checklist.
In Uyuni town, yes. On the salt flats and the lagoons, no, on any network, for most of three days. Download maps, save the tour operator's number, and agree a check-in with people at home before you leave town.
A Bolivia plan for the Bolivian side and the LATAM plan for Peru, Chile, or Argentina, both on the same eSIM. Add the LATAM plan before you cross; it starts counting when you connect on the other side.
It depends on how much data you want and how many days you're staying. A fixed plan costs less overall; an unlimited plan (5 GB a day at full speed, then slower) works out to a lower daily rate the longer you stay. Every current option and price is in the plan selector at the top of this page.
In the app: open My plans, choose your Bolivia plan, and tap Top up. The extra data lands on the same eSIM within a few seconds, with nothing new to add or scan. Full steps are in topping up data without reinstalling the eSIM.
Weeks ahead. The plan's days don't start until you turn it on and connect, so a plan bought a month before departure is still complete when you land. Plans need to be activated within 90 days of purchase. See what plan validity means and when it starts.
If it's eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked, yes, which covers most phones sold since 2019. The one-minute check for iPhone, Android, and Samsung is in is my phone eSIM compatible?
Bolivia eSIM for La Paz, the salt flats, and the road to Peru

Bolivia is the trip with the highest airport, the emptiest landscapes, and the most border crossings per week of any South American route, and it is the one country on that route the LATAM plan doesn't cover. The best eSIM for Bolivia is a Bolivia plan, added at home, on Wi-Fi, so the phone connects at El Alto or Viru Viru before the altitude has a chance to slow you down.
Below: how a Bolivia plan works, how to set it up before you fly, what to expect in La Paz and Santa Cruz and on the way to Uyuni and Titicaca, and which plans cover the crossings into Peru, Chile, and Argentina.
A South American trip is usually long, and it usually crosses a border or two. KnowRoaming is built for that. You add the KnowRoaming eSIM, called KR.One, to your phone once, then add a plan per trip: Bolivia now, the Global plan when a trip crosses continents, anywhere else after that. The eSIM stays; only the plan changes.
The plan's days start when you turn it on and connect in Bolivia, not at checkout. Buy it weeks ahead, add it at home, and a delayed flight costs you nothing. The full rule is in what plan validity means and when it starts.
Choose a fixed plan for a set amount of data at the lowest overall price, or an unlimited plan when you'd rather not count. Unlimited plans give you 5 GB a day at full speed, then a slower speed until the allowance resets the next day. If a fixed plan runs low, top up in the app and the extra data lands on the same eSIM.
See it in two minutes: Meet KR.One, iPhone setup with KR.One, or Samsung setup with KR.One.
Do this at home on Wi-Fi. It takes about a minute.
Before you leave
- Get the KnowRoaming app (available on iOS and Android) and choose your Bolivia plan.
- Tap Add. First time on this phone? The app adds KR.One and your Bolivia plan together. Already have KR.One? Only the plan is added, with nothing to scan.
- Leave data roaming off on the KnowRoaming line until you land, and turn it off on your home line too so it doesn't run up charges in the background. Steps are in turning off roaming on your home line.
When you land
- Turn the plan on in the app, then turn data roaming on for the KnowRoaming line. That setting lives in your phone, so the app can't flip it for you.
- Give the phone a minute to find the network. If nothing happens, turn airplane mode on for 30 seconds and off again.
Prefer a QR code? The checkout page and your confirmation email both carry one; scan it from your phone's settings. Every tap, by device, is in adding your eSIM on iPhone, adding your eSIM on Android, and adding your eSIM on Samsung, or watch the iPhone QR walkthrough or the Samsung QR walkthrough. Still no signal after landing? Work through the no-signal checklist.
La Paz's airport at El Alto sits at over 4,000 meters, and the first hour is about going slowly; Santa Cruz's Viru Viru is the lowland hub and the busier of the two. Taxis are the way in from both, and radio taxis booked by phone are the safer kind; La Paz's cable-car network, Mi Teleférico, is the fastest way across the city once you're in it.
The boliviano is the currency, cash rules outside the big hotels and supermarkets, and cards work in La Paz, Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, and Sucre but not much beyond. Long-distance buses link everything, overnight, with tickets bought at the terminal or through apps that need data.
Bolivia is not on the LATAM plan, which covers Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil around it. A traveler on the LATAM plan loses data at the Bolivian border in every direction. Bolivia is on the Global plan, and it is sold as its own plan; either one works here, added to the same eSIM as the plan covering the rest of the route. Read crossing into a border country your plan doesn't include before you cross.
The Salar de Uyuni is a three-day jeep tour for most people, out across the salt flats and down through the lagoons to the Chilean border, and none of it has signal after the first morning. Download maps, agree the check-in with people at home, and let the phone be a camera. Copacabana on Lake Titicaca and the Isla del Sol have 4G in the town and thin coverage on the island; Sucre and Potosí are well covered.
Uyuni town, La Paz, and the towns along the way are where you'll book the next thing: the tour, the bus, the crossing. Do it there, not on the flats.
The crossing into Peru at Kasani, from Copacabana toward Puno, and the exit into Chile at the end of the Uyuni tour toward San Pedro de Atacama are the two most visitors make; Villazón to La Quiaca is the Argentine one. All three neighbors are on the LATAM plan, so the usual setup is a Bolivia plan for this leg and the LATAM plan for the rest, on the same eSIM. The phone switches by itself at the border once the other plan is on.
La Paz, Potosí, and Uyuni are all above 3,500 meters, and most travelers take a day to adjust; the pharmacies sell what helps, and the hotel will know the nearest one. Sunday is quiet everywhere, with markets closed and buses thinner. Carnival in Oruro, in February or March, is the country's big event, with hotels booked months out and a train and bus rush from La Paz.
Your plan connects to Entel, Tigo, or Viva on 4G LTE. There is no 5G on this plan. Coverage is strong in La Paz, Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, Sucre, and the main towns, and holds along the main highways. Your phone picks the network automatically once the plan is on; there is nothing to choose by hand.
On the salt flats, the altiplano lagoons, the Titicaca islands, and the mountain roads, expect long stretches with no signal on any network. Treat those days as offline.
Most phones sold since 2019 support eSIM, including iPhone XS and later and most Android flagships from the same window. Check yours before you add a plan; it takes a few seconds. On iPhone, go to Settings, General, About and look for an EID or Available SIM. On Android, go to Settings, Network & Internet, SIMs and look for an option to add an eSIM. On Samsung, dial *#06# and look for an EID.
Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. If you're not sure, carrier-locked vs unlocked: how to tell shows you where to look.
Adding a Bolivia plan doesn't touch your regular SIM. Calls and texts on your usual number keep working exactly as before. The new plan handles data while you're there, and most phones run both at once without you doing anything else. Bank codes and two-factor texts still arrive on your home number, as long as that line stays switched on.
For South America the alternatives are your home carrier's roaming rate, often unavailable outside the capital; a local SIM that means paperwork, a local number, and a queue; or hostel Wi-Fi that is fine until you're on a bus. A Bolivia plan added at home beats all three: one price agreed before you fly, live the second you land, and a Global plan waiting if the trip grows.
