Recommended Travel Adaptor for Brazil
We’ve carried out thorough research, tested adaptors on real trips, and compared price, quality, safety features and charging speed — this is the one that came out on top.
Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Brazil is frequently visited alongside Argentina and Paraguay. Worth checking the adaptor info — plug types and voltage can vary.
Sockets in Brazil
Brazil uses Type C and N plugs and sockets.
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.
Type N
Type N sockets have two round pins and a slightly offset earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type N sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll probably need a voltage converter in Brazil for certain devices, as the mains supply there doesn’t match ours. In the UK we use 230 V, so the voltage isn’t the same.
Do check the voltage label on your kit before you travel. If it states ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, you’re safe to use it without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
The right travel gear can save you money, stress, and time. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at check-in, a power bank keeps your phone ready for maps and tickets, and packing cubes make it easy to find what you need. We recommend them because they work.
