Abstract: Unlike the real case, there are not many studies and general techniques for providing simultaneous approximations in the field of p--adic numbers mathbbQp. Here, we study the use of multidimensional continued fractions (MCFs) in this context. MCFs were introduced in mathbbR by Jacobi and Perron as a generalization of continued fractions and they have been recently defined also in mathbbQp. We focus on the dimension two and study the quality of the simultaneous approximation to two p-adic numbers provided by p-adic MCFs, where p is an odd prime. Moreover, given algebraically dependent p--adic numbers, we see when infinitely many simultaneous approximations satisfy the same algebraic relation. This also allows to give a condition that ensures the finiteness of the p--adic Jacobi--Perron algorithm when it processes some kinds of mathbbQ--linearly dependent inputs.
