Brazil eSIM FAQ
Do I need an eSIM in Brazil?
Yes — Brazilian local SIMs require a CPF (tax ID) which tourists cannot get easily. eSIM is the only practical option and Uber + 99 need working data.
Vivo or Claro for Brazil?
Vivo — largest network, best rural + Amazon coverage. Airalo + Saily default to Vivo.
Does eSIM work in the Amazon (Manaus)?
Manaus city itself has 4G on Vivo + Claro. On river boats + jungle lodges: expect signal loss within 30 minutes of leaving the city.
Brazil + Argentina / Chile combo?
