Panama City eSIM
81 Panama plans · from $5.16
Panama City puts a glass skyline, a Spanish colonial old town and a working canal within a few kilometres of each other, and it has Latin America's first metro to move between them. A travel eSIM covers the city, the canal and the rainforest half an hour away — though the San Blas islands are a different story.
Landing at Tocumen International (PTY)
Tocumen is the main hub for the region and about 30–40 minutes from the city. Metro Line 2 now reaches the airport, and ride-hailing operates from the designated area — both easier to sort with data already live.

How “Unlimited” works: Never cut off — each plan gives a set amount of full-speed data, then a slower speed. The exact allowance and speed are shown on every plan.Read more
Unlimited plans never run out and your eSIM is never disconnected, but every one has a fair-use limit: a set amount of full-speed data, after which the speed is reduced. The amounts differ between plans — most give a daily full-speed allowance that refills every 24 hours from when you first activate the eSIM, while Premium plans give a larger allowance for the whole plan instead. Each plan states its own allowance and the speed after it before you buy. At the reduced speed, messaging, maps, email and light browsing still work; video streaming and video calls may not. If you want every gigabyte at full speed, choose a fixed-GB plan.
Which networks you'll be on in Panama City
Siima eSIMs for Panama ride Tigo and Claro. Coverage across the metropolitan area and the canal corridor is strong; the Darién and the outer islands are another matter.
Coverage around Panama City
Metro and the city
Coverage across both metro lines including the tunnel sections, and throughout the banking district, Casco Viejo and the Amador Causeway.
The Panama Canal
Miraflores and Agua Clara visitor centres are well covered, and the canal-side roads hold signal — useful for tracking which ship is transiting when.
Gamboa and Soberanía
The rainforest half an hour from downtown has coverage on the main roads and at the lodges, thinning on the Pipeline Road and the deeper trails.
San Blas / Guna Yala
The islands are the genuine dead zone. Coverage is minimal to none across most of the archipelago, and the 4x4 transfer over the mountains loses it too. Arrange everything before you leave the city.
How much data you need
A week in Panama is 2–4 GB. City navigation and canal-schedule checking are most of it; the islands use none because there is none.
