Recommended Travel Adaptor for Peru
We carried out detailed research and tested a variety of adaptors ourselves. Only one ticked every box — safety, speed and durability. That’s the one we recommend here.
Realised abroad that you’ve left your adaptor behind? You’ll often find them in airports and shops nearby. Still, carrying your own is cheaper and more reliable.
Peru is often combined with trips to Bolivia and Ecuador. It’s a good idea to check those pages too — plugs and voltage might be slightly different.
Sockets in Peru
In Peru, you’ll find Type A and C plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A voltage converter only helps if the supply is different. In Peru the mains voltage lines up with the UK, so there’s no need.
Before you plug in abroad, make sure to check the voltage label. Devices marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ can handle different voltages, so no converter needed.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling can be unpredictable, but these little items give you peace of mind. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at the airport desk, a power bank saves you when plugs are nowhere to be found, and packing cubes stop your things from getting muddled. We’ve used them on plenty of trips and can vouch for them.
