Latin America Travel Tips

In Latin America, the electricity voltage and plug types can vary by country, so it’s important to check the specifics of each destination before your trip. In Chile, Argentina, and Peru, the standard voltage is 220V, with a frequency of 50Hz. Brazil uses the same voltage and frequency but may have different plug types, with some regions using 2-pin Type N plugs, while others may use Type C or Type A plugs.

For plug types, Chile, Argentina, and Peru commonly use Type C and Type L plugs. Brazil, however, uses Type N, which is unique to the country, and Type C and Type A plugs may also be seen in some areas. It is advisable to bring a universal adapter to ensure compatibility with all plug types you may encounter.

If you are traveling with electronics, make sure your devices can handle the voltage (220V). Many modern electronic devices such as laptops and phone chargers can support a range of voltages (usually 100-240V), but you may need a voltage converter for older equipment. Always check your device's specifications before use.
