Recommended Travel Adaptor for Ecuador
Countless adaptors were put through our checks while travelling. We compared safety, charging speed and build quality. This adaptor proved the clear winner.
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.
Ecuador is often combined with nearby countries like Peru, Colombia and Bolivia. Plugs and sockets may vary, so best to check the details for each destination.
Sockets in Ecuador
Ecuador uses Type A and B 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 B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Some of your kit may need a voltage converter in Ecuador, since the local mains doesn’t line up with Britain’s 230 V.
Before charging abroad, glance at the mains label: ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ confirms it’ll run safely without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
