Plugs and Sockets in Peru

In Peru, they use Type A and C plugs and sockets. The mains voltage is 220 V, and the frequency is 60 Hz.

So, you’ll definitely need a travel adaptor in Peru. Their plugs and sockets aren’t the same as our Type G back in the UK.

In Peru, you’ll find Type A and C plugs and sockets.

Recommended Travel Adaptor for Peru

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.

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.

Peru is often combined with trips to Bolivia and Ecuador. It’s a good idea to check those pages too — plugs and voltage might be slightly different.

Do You Need a Voltage Converter?

A voltage converter only helps if the supply is different. In Peru the mains voltage lines up with the UK, so there’s no need.

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.

Top Travel Essentials to Take With You

Travelling can be unpredictable, but these little items give you peace of mind. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at the airport desk, a power bank saves you when plugs are nowhere to be found, and packing cubes stop your things from getting muddled. We’ve used them on plenty of trips and can vouch for them.
