Recommended Travel Adaptor for Chile
Countless adaptors were put through our checks while travelling. We compared safety, charging speed and build quality. This adaptor proved the clear winner.
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.
Chile is often paired with regional travel to Argentina and Peru. It’s worth checking those pages too — plug types may not be the same.
Sockets in Chile
In Chile, you’ll find Type C and L 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 L
Type L sockets have three round pins in a single straight line. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type L sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Converters only matter when voltages clash. In Chile the supply is pretty much the same as the UK’s, so you’re sorted.
Check your device’s voltage rating before plugging in abroad. If you see ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, you’re in luck — no converter required, as is the case with most modern electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s not just your adaptor that matters when you’re abroad. A digital luggage scale keeps check-in drama at bay, a power bank gives you peace of mind on long journeys, and packing cubes make your suitcase far easier to manage. Once you’ve tried them, you’ll wonder how you coped before.
