The four major mobile operators in Peru are Claro, Movistar, Entel and Bitel. Claro is considered the best all-rounder with strong coverage in Lima, Cusco and the Sacred Valley. Movistar has historically had the broadest coverage in the countryside and in the high mountains. In Lima and coastal cities, coverage is good, but in the Andes and on the Inca Trail reach varies. Networks: Claro, Movistar, Entel.
For travel via Cusco and Machu Picchu, a plan on the Claro or Movistar network is the most reliable, including in mountainous areas.
In the Andes and at Machu Picchu, mountain coverage varies, with good reach in Aguas Calientes but a weak signal higher up on the Inca Trail.

In Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo) there is reasonable 4G via Claro and Movistar. Up at the citadel itself and on the Inca Trail the signal is intermittent and can drop out completely.
In Cusco, Arequipa and the Sacred Valley the 4G coverage is good. Further into the high mountains and in remote Andean villages, reach can be weak or absent. Movistar has the broadest coverage there.
