eSIM for Peru

Not with a travel eSIM. Peru requires foreign phones that use a Peruvian SIM to be registered in person at the operator, or they get blocked within about two business days. Phones roaming on a foreign line are exempt, and Firsty roams on Peruvian networks, so there's no store visit or IMEI paperwork.

In Aguas Calientes, yes. Up at the citadel, signal is weak or missing on every network, and on the Inca Trail it mostly disappears after day one. Download offline maps and your entry tickets before you go. On Prepaid, the GBs you don't use while offline stay on your account.
