Brazil has been on Mexican travelers' bucket lists for years, and 2026 might finally be the year to check it off. According to Skyscanner, flight prices to Brazil dropped nearly 30% compared to last year, no visa is required, and the variety of experiences offered by Latin America's largest country is unmatched: the Christ the Redeemer and Rio's beaches, the energy of São Paulo, the Iguaçu Falls, the magic of the Amazon. But there's one thing many travelers don't sort out before leaving: internet. In this DatosdeViaje guide we explain how to arrive connected in Brazil from minute one, without paying roaming fees and without complications.
Brazil is a massive country with solid telecommunications infrastructure in its cities and tourist areas, but international roaming from Mexico can cost between $20 and $90 USD per day depending on your carrier. For a ten-day trip, that quickly turns into a bill that rivals the cost of the flight itself.
An eSIM for Brazil lets you activate a data package before leaving Mexico, connect as soon as you land at Rio or São Paulo's airport, and move around the entire country without paying extra fees or hunting for a physical SIM. Google Maps to navigate the streets of Santa Teresa, WhatsApp to coordinate with your group, Uber to get around São Paulo safely — all available from the very first moment.
If this is your first time using an eSIM and you want to understand how it works before purchasing, we recommend reading our beginner's guide to eSIM first.

DatosdeViaje has two options that cover Brazil. If your trip is exclusively to Brazil, the Brazil-specific package gives you the best local coverage across the entire country, including Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Florianópolis, Foz do Iguaçu, and the Amazon region.
If your itinerary includes other countries in the region like Argentina, Colombia, or Peru, the Latin America package is your best option. With a single eSIM you can move across the entire continent without swapping chips or paying for extra packages.

DatosdeViaje packages for Brazil start from $10 USD, with larger capacity options available depending on the length of your trip and how heavily you plan to use your data. You can pay in USD or MXN, which makes it very convenient for travelers departing from Mexico or anywhere in Latin America.
Brazil is a country where you'll use your phone constantly: Waze or Google Maps to navigate enormous cities like São Paulo, restaurant searches, real-time Portuguese translation, activity reservations. If your trip lasts more than a week or covers several destinations, we recommend choosing a package with more GB. The best part about Datos de Viaje is that you can top up directly from your account without purchasing a new eSIM or reinstalling anything.
Before purchasing, verify that your phone is eSIM-compatible. You can check the full list of supported models on our compatible phones page. Most iPhones from the XS onward, Samsung Galaxy from the S20, and Google Pixel from the 4 are already compatible.
Once you've confirmed compatibility, choose your Brazil package, complete your purchase, and you'll receive a QR code by email immediately. Scan that code from your phone's network settings and the eSIM will be installed in under 5 minutes. For detailed step-by-step instructions by phone model, visit our installation guide.
We recommend installing the eSIM one or two days before your flight. When you land in Brazil, activate data roaming on the DatosdeViaje eSIM and you'll be connected before collecting your luggage. No queues. No forms in Portuguese. No stress.
Coverage in Brazil is excellent across all major tourist destinations. In Rio de Janeiro you'll have 4G signal throughout the south side of the city, including Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, the Santa Teresa neighborhood, and the Christ the Redeemer access points. In São Paulo coverage is equally solid in all main neighborhoods: Vila Madalena, Pinheiros, Paulista Avenue, and Guarulhos airport.
In Salvador coverage is reliable in the Pelourinho historic district and the northern coast beaches. In Florianópolis you'll have stable signal at the most popular beaches including Jurerê, Joaquina, and Lagoa da Conceição. At Iguaçu Falls, both the Brazilian side and the national park access areas have reliable coverage. In the Amazon region the signal is solid in Manaus and its immediate surroundings, but deep in the jungle coverage becomes intermittent — completely expected in one of the most remote areas on the planet.

Mexican citizens do not need a visa to enter Brazil for tourist stays of up to 90 days, which makes trip planning much simpler. You just need a valid passport with at least 6 months of validity remaining and an outbound ticket.
The official currency is the Brazilian real (BRL), and while credit cards are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, and shops, it's recommended to carry some cash for local markets, transport, and tips. The official language is Portuguese, not Spanish, and although many people in tourist areas understand some English or Spanish, having Google Translate active on your phone is practically essential for day-to-day situations.
Brazil is a country of contrasts, and in cities like Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo, common sense and up-to-date information are your best tools. Having reliable internet on your phone with the Datos de Viaje eSIM lets you use Uber or 99 (the local ride app) to get around safely, check routes in real time, and stay in touch with your family back home on WhatsApp at any time.

Yes. With the DatosdeViaje eSIM you can turn your phone into a hotspot and share your connection with other devices — your laptop, tablet, or a travel companion's phone. Ideal if you're traveling as a couple or group and want to split the cost of a single package.
For step-by-step instructions on how to set up the hotspot on your specific phone model, check our guide: How to share internet with your eSIM.
There are many eSIM options on the market, including competitors like Airalo or Holafly, but DatosdeViaje was built for LATAM travelers. That translates into WhatsApp support in Spanish and English available before, during, and after your trip, pricing in both USD and MXN, and the ability to top up your eSIM directly from your account without reinstalling anything.
