Can I expect fast internet speeds during Carnival in Rio de Janeiro when using my Ecuador Abroad eSIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

During the exhilarating chaos of Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, especially at iconic venues like the Sambadrome or during massive street parties (blocos), local network infrastructure faces immense pressure. While your Ecuador Abroad eSIM connects to premium local networks like Vivo and Claro, which are the best available, you should anticipate some congestion. Data speeds might be slower than usual due to the sheer volume of users. We recommend downloading maps or essential information beforehand and embracing the festive atmosphere, knowing you'll still have a reliable connection for crucial communications.
