Sockets in Copán Ruinas

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.

Recommended Travel Adaptor for Copán Ruinas
After extensive testing on the road and careful checks on safety, durability, functionality and cost, this adaptor proved to be the most reliable choice.
Forgotten your adaptor and already abroad? Don’t worry — airports and local shops usually stock them. That said, packing your own saves you from high prices and poor quality.
Copán Ruinas is usually visited alongside nearby countries like Guatemala and El Salvador. Might be worth checking the plug info for those as well — they don’t all use the same system.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
The mains in Copán Ruinas doesn’t line up with the UK’s 230 V, meaning a voltage converter will be needed for some devices.
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.
