What to know before travelling to Panama with an eSIM
Panama welcomes tourists visiting Panama City, Bocas del Toro or San Blas, as well as travellers connecting through Tocumen airport, one of Latin America's major hubs. Either way, it helps to have internet from the first moment.
With a data eSIM you are connected as soon as you land, without swapping SIMs and without paying roaming. It is especially useful on layovers and short trips, where looking for a local card is not worth it.
In Panama City and the main tourist areas the connection is usually good; on islands, in the jungle or in rural areas coverage can vary. If you are heading to Bocas del Toro or San Blas, download maps and your accommodation details before you leave.
