How we make the maps

What HolaMapas is

HolaMapas is a project by HOLASIM, an Argentine travel eSIM company. We publish interactive tourist maps of 280 cities in 78 countries, in Spanish, English and Portuguese. They are free, need no sign-up and work on your phone.

What each map includes

Every city has four layers: attractions, restaurants, specialty coffee and shopping. It also has walking routes by area, with their stops in order. For each place we show a short description, a practical tip, the nearest station or transport, and the guide or outlet that features it.

Below every map you will find the full list of places as text, so you can read it, search the page or share a specific place.

How we choose the places

We start from public, well-known sources: food and travel guides (for example Michelin, The World's 50 Best, Eater and Time Out), official tourism and venue websites, public reviews and what is trending on social media. Each place shows the source that backs it.

No place pays to be listed. We do not accept paid placements on the maps.

Use of artificial intelligence

We use AI to survey the sources, organise the information, write the descriptions and translate them. The HOLASIM team sets the selection criteria, and every release goes through automated quality checks before it is published. Mistakes can still happen: if you spot one, tell us and we will fix it.

Ratings, opening hours and prices

The ratings and review counts shown on place cards are for reference only: they reflect the approximate public value when the map was built and may have changed. We do not show opening hours or prices because they change often; check each venue's official site before you go.

Updates

Every map shows the date of its last update. We add new cities every week and review published ones periodically.

Maps, imagery and photos

Cartography comes from OpenStreetMap and satellite imagery from Esri. Place photos come from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, under their respective licences.

How it is funded

The maps are free. HolaMapas is supported by sales of HOLASIM eSIMs, which appear as a recommendation for staying connected at each destination. That recommendation has no influence on which places are included.

Corrections and contact

If a place has closed, moved or has a wrong detail, write to us through the HOLASIM help center.
