Chile eSIM FAQ
Does eSIM work in Torres del Paine?
At the refugios (Grey, Paine Grande, Chileno): 4G on Entel. On the trails between (John Gardner Pass, Mirador Base Torres): no signal — download offline maps.
Entel or Movistar?
Entel — best Atacama + Patagonia coverage. Airalo + Saily default to Entel.
eSIM on Easter Island (Rapa Nui)?
Yes — Entel + Claro both have 4G in Hanga Roa. Coverage extends to Anakena beach + Rano Raraku. Some remote moai sites: patchy but usable.
Chile + Argentina combo?
Airalo Americas regional plan covers both — critical for the Patagonia crossing at Torres del Paine + Perito Moreno. $18-25 for 10GB.
