Will data work in Brazil's Amazon region too?

No carrier can really guarantee coverage in the remote areas deep in the Amazon rainforest. In central Manaus and near the main riverside resorts you can get a 4G connection on the Claro and Vivo networks, but deep in the jungle coverage can be patchy or absent. Before an Amazon tour, we recommend saving offline maps in advance.

Can I use Uber or 99 (a Brazilian taxi app) in Brazil?

Yes, the Uber and 99 apps are truly essential when travelling in Brazil. Especially in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, they are much safer and more convenient than regular taxis. When you are connected to data with an eSIM, you can easily share your location and even pay through the app. In Brazil, we strongly recommend booking a ride through an app rather than just hailing a taxi on the street.

Will data speeds be OK if I travel during carnival season in Brazil?

During Rio Carnival (February–March every year) or the Salvador festival, tourists arrive in huge numbers, and local network speeds can slow down somewhat. This applies not only to eSIMs but also to local SIM users. It is best to save important information offline in advance and keep your data use to a minimum at crowded event venues.

Will I need a power adapter in Brazil?

Brazil uses Type C (European-style, two round pins) and Type N sockets. Most Korean electronic devices are compatible with Type C, so in many cases you can use them straight away without a separate adapter. However, the type of socket can differ from hotel to hotel, so packing one universal adapter gives you extra peace of mind.

Will the eSIM keep working as I travel between several cities in Brazil?

Yes, the Yeohaengyusim Brazil eSIM works throughout Brazil. Even as you move between major cities such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Foz do Iguaçu, Salvador and Fortaleza, you can use it without interruption in areas covered by the Claro and Vivo networks. Travel comfortably all over Brazil with one eSIM, with nothing to reset or swap.

Does eSIM work in Brazil?

Brazil supports eSIM, and plans start from ₩3,752. Install it with the QR code you receive after buying, then just turn on data roaming after you arrive and you are connected straight away. There is no need to swap your SIM.

Travel eSIM or carrier roaming: which is cheaper for a trip to Brazil?

For a short trip or light data use, a travel eSIM is usually cheaper. Unlimited roaming from Korean carriers costs about ₩11,000–₩15,000 a day, but with an eSIM you can buy just the days of data you need in advance. For a short trip for one or two people, an eSIM has a big advantage; for a family or very heavy data use, compare carrier unlimited roaming too.

Which carrier network does a Brazil eSIM use?

In Brazil it connects automatically to local carrier networks such as Claro · Vivo · TIM (4G/LTE, 5G where supported). Population coverage is about 82%. It picks the network with the strongest signal automatically, so there is nothing to set up.

Can I keep using my Korean number while travelling in Brazil?

Yes. The eSIM works as a data-only second line, so your Korean SIM and number stay as they are. Use the Yeohaengyusim eSIM for data only, and keep receiving calls, texts and KakaoTalk on your Korean number.

Can I add to or extend my Brazil eSIM plan?

Yes. When you use up your data or the plan period ends, you can buy a new plan at any time. Keep using the eSIM profile you already installed; there is no need to install it again, so you carry on without interruption.

Can I use tethering (hotspot) in Brazil?

Yes. In Brazil you can share your eSIM data with other devices such as a laptop or tablet by tethering (hotspot). Shared data also comes out of your plan allowance, so if you tether a lot we recommend choosing a little more data.

Do I set up the eSIM before I leave or after I arrive?

We recommend installing it (registering the QR code) before you leave, while you have Wi-Fi. Data starts when you turn on data roaming after you arrive in Brazil. Just remember "set up before you leave, switch on when you arrive" and you can use the internet as soon as you land.

Brazil, the heart of the South American continent, is one of the most dynamic countries on Earth. From Copacabana Beach and the giant statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro to the overwhelming nature of the Amazon rainforest and São Paulo's world-class food culture—one visit to Brazil is never enough. Standing spellbound before Iguaçu Falls and letting yourself go to the rhythm of samba, you lose all track of time. Because Brazil is a vast, continent-sized country, you will often travel between cities, and getting around is not easy without Google Maps and Uber. With just one Yeohaengyusim eSIM, you can roam freely all over Brazil without worrying about data right after landing at São Paulo airport. It activates right away with just a QR code and no SIM chip to swap, so after a long flight you can start your trip straight away without any complicated steps.

Why an eSIM really helps in Brazil

Brazil is a faraway country with no direct flights from Korea, so the journey takes at least 30 hours. That means you need to prepare your trip thoroughly, and buying a local SIM is far more of a hassle than you might think. There are always long queues at the SIM booths in Brazilian airports, and because communicating in Portuguese is not easy, it is hard to work out exactly which plan you want. If you buy and install a Yeohaengyusim eSIM in Korea in advance, it links up automatically with the Claro or Vivo network as soon as you enter Brazil. Brazil is enormous: it is the fifth-largest country in the world by land area. As you travel from Rio to Iguaçu, and from Iguaçu to Manaus in the Amazon, data is your lifeline. Calling an Uber, navigating with Google Maps and checking your accommodation's check-in details all need data. Roaming charges there are ridiculously expensive, and airport Wi-Fi can be a security risk. A Yeohaengyusim eSIM keeps your existing Korean SIM as it is and only adds data, so you won't miss calls or messages from Korea either. We strongly recommend an eSIM as a must-have for a trip to Brazil.
