Power Outets in Latin America
Like, you just can't really win. You start thinking about traveling through Latin America, and it seems like there are so many obstacles that it's really not worth it. There's a reason people don't ride motorcycle to Tierra Del Fuego. It's because, unlike me, they're not fucking retarded.
But yeah...this thought just occured to me. I need to figure out how I'm going to deal with charging my electronics in Latin America.
So, without further ado, I'll present the current situation for electrical outlets in the countries I'm plannng on going through:
http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plug-voltage-by-country/
USA 120 V 60 Hz A / B
Mexico 120 V 60 Hz A / B
Guatemala 120 V 60 Hz A / B
El Salvador 120 V 60 Hz A / B
Honduras 120 V 60 Hz A / B
Nicaragua 120 V 60 Hz A / B
Costa Rica 120 V 60 Hz A / B
Panama 120 V 60 Hz A / B
Colombia 110 V 60 Hz A / B
Ecuador 120 V 60 Hz A / B
Peru 220 V 60 Hz A / C
Bolivia 230 V 50 Hz A / C
Paraguay 220 V 50 Hz C
Argentina 220 V 50 Hz I
Brazil 127 V / 220 V 60 Hz C / N
Uruguay 220 V 50 Hz C / F / L
Chile 220 V 50 Hz C / L
So, it looks like I'll be fine until I get down to South America, but then all hell breaks loose. I remember in Peru, that the power supply to my laptop worked in that country, even though I didn't think it would. Like...Juan picked up the AC adapter and showed me on the adapter that it said it would work for 220V. I didn't trust him, but he was right.
