All Uruguay eSIM plans
Carrasco and the Buquebus terminal are easier when the bus map and the peso ATM locator work. A Uruguay eSIM is online without a kiosk lesson in UYU after a late boat.
Install it before you travel. If you hop to Buenos Aires for dinner, a country plan may die at immigration — that is a listing problem, not a surprise the rambla can fix.
