Recommended Travel Adaptor for Cancún

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.

No adaptor once you’ve landed? Airports and local shops are an option. But nothing beats the peace of mind of having your own ready to use.

Cancún is often part of a trip that includes Belize and Guatemala. It’s a good idea to check those pages too — adaptors might be different from what you’d use in Cancún.

Do You Need a Voltage Converter?

Don’t assume your gadgets will work straight away in Cancún — the voltage isn’t the same as our 230 V, so a converter may be required.

Always check the voltage label before you plug in abroad. If it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your kit will work just fine without a converter — most modern laptops, tablets and chargers already do.
