Our verdict
Claro Peru suits people who already hold a Claro line and want international data added to an existing bill rather than a separate eSIM. Plans start at PEN 29.90, the practical choice is the Pasaporte Claro add-on, and coverage runs 17 to 35 countries.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Pasaporte Claro bundles data with minutes, SMS and messaging, and top-ups are available
- Plans sit on the regular Claro bill with instant activation
- Support runs on email, chat and phone
- Suits short trip and long trip, with 5G, instant activation and a carrier plan (5g, instant activation and carrier plan)
Cons
- Hotspot sharing is listed as no, so the line cannot share data with a laptop or tablet
- Unlimited data is listed as no, and a fair use policy applies an automatic MB cap on roaming by zone
- Europe and UK coverage needs the costliest plan listed, and Japan, Thailand and Turkey are pay as you go only
Who it suits
- Claro Peru subscribers who want international data on the bill they already have
- Travellers crossing the Andean and Americas zones inside a regular Claro plan
- Short breaks where a bundled data, minutes and messaging add-on is easier than setting up a new eSIM
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers who need hotspot sharing or unlimited data, as neither is among its plan features (5g, instant activation and carrier plan), and should look at eSIMGo.is or Zwitchy
- Anyone planning a Europe or UK trip on a budget, since that coverage sits in the costliest plan listed and eSIMGo.is is the cheaper comparison
- International visitors without a Claro line, who should consider SimToIsrael or Zwitchy instead
What data costs
International coverage starts at PEN 29.90, and the Pasaporte Claro add-on bundles data, SMS and minutes for a fixed window. Roaming outside those plans is priced per MB, with the cheapest rate in the Claro zone. Europe and UK coverage sits in the most expensive plan listed, while Japan, Thailand and Turkey fall outside the plan options and are charged on the pay as you go rate. Prices are quoted in PE currency.

Frequently asked questions
What does international data cost?+
Travel coverage starts at PEN 29.90, and the Pasaporte Claro add-on bundles data, minutes, SMS and messaging for a fixed window. Outside those plans, roaming is charged per MB by zone, with the lowest rate in the Claro zone. Europe and UK travel sits in the most expensive plan listed.
Which countries does Claro Peru cover?+
Coverage runs 17 to 35 countries, split across regional and global roaming zones. The Americas plans reach the Andean region, the US, Mexico and Canada, while a separate plan covers Europe and the UK. Japan, Thailand and Turkey are reached on the pay as you go rate only.
Does Claro Peru offer unlimited data?+
Unlimited data is listed as no, so usage is shaped by the fair use policy instead. That policy applies an automatic MB cap on roaming that differs by zone, with a higher allowance for corporate lines. On plans with international coverage, the messaging allowance is limited to text, images and voice notes.
Can I use my Claro line as a hotspot?+
Hotspot sharing is listed as no, so the line will not share its connection with a laptop or tablet while travelling. If several devices need data abroad, a travel eSIM is the better fit. Claro does list 5G, instant activation and a carrier plan (5g, instant activation and carrier plan) among its international coverage features.
What happens to data I do not use?+
Unused data, minutes and SMS from Pasaporte Claro are not recoverable, so the window length matters more than the size of the bundle. Pick the add-on that matches the length of the trip. The fair use policy also excludes peer to peer traffic and illegal downloads from roaming.
How do I get support while travelling?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone, so help is available by phone, chat, email and the help centre. Because the plans sit on a regular Claro bill, the same account team handles roaming questions. The service comes from America Movil Peru S.A.C. (RUC 20467534026), the Peruvian operator behind the plans.
Do I need a new SIM or number to get this?+
The plans run on an existing Claro line, and instant activation is listed among the features (5g, instant activation and carrier plan), so setup happens on the account you already have. Top-ups are available for the bundled add-ons. Travellers without a Claro line will find a prepaid travel eSIM simpler.
