How to Stay Connected to the Internet While Traveling in Colombia

Updated: Jun 20

If you've been dreaming about your next trip to Colombia, imagine the walled streets, vibrant carnivals, and Tayrona Park, where the jungle meets paradise beaches. Colombia is full of magical places and incredible tours.


But how can you stay connected to the internet while enjoying this wonderful country?

Here, we provide all the information you need to upload your photos in Guatapé, take a tour of the coffee region, and wander the streets of Cartagena without worrying about the internet. We’ll tell you everything you need to know to stay connected and make the most of your experience in Colombia!


The Best Ways to Have Internet While Traveling in Colombia:


  • Roaming: International roaming can be the easiest option, but also the most expensive. Check with your local provider about the conditions and costs. Many telecommunications companies offer plans for travelers. If you want to be connected as soon as you land in Colombia, this might be the best alternative. Remember that roaming incurs additional charges for both outgoing and incoming calls.

  • Buying a Local Postpaid SIM Card: Buying a local SIM card when you arrive in Colombia (for example, from Claro or Movistar) is an excellent alternative. You can purchase it at the airport or any authorized distributor. Opt for an affordable postpaid mobile plan that lasts the duration of your stay and does not require a contract.

  • Public Wi-Fi Zones: Public Wi-Fi zones are the cheapest option but also the riskiest in terms of security. These open networks can be accessible to hackers. Use this option only in emergencies and avoid accessing banking or financial applications. Additionally, the speed can be an issue when many people are connected at the same time.


Some additional tips:


  • All airports in Colombia have public Wi-Fi so you can stay in touch.

  • Make sure that any plan you contract does not require a long-term commitment.

  • If you buy a postpaid SIM card, verify that the operator has coverage in the areas you plan to visit.
