Which travel plug do you need in Bolivia?

In Bolivia you'll mainly encounter sockets of type A and type C. Some overviews also mention type B, but the most consistent sources for travellers mainly mention A and C. For travellers from the Netherlands and Belgium this means a standard Dutch plug doesn't always fit directly, especially not with type A.

That's why a good universal travel plug for Bolivia is usually the safest and easiest choice.

Do you need a universal travel plug in Bolivia?

For many travellers from the Netherlands and Belgium the answer is usually yes. Electrical Safety First indicates that for Bolivia you generally don't need a converter or transformer with dual-voltage devices, but you do need a travel adaptor. That makes a universal travel plug the simplest solution for most travellers.

This is especially handy if you:

• are bringing multiple devices
• stay at various accommodations
• are also visiting other countries in South America
• don't want to depend on adapters on location

Mains voltage and voltage in Bolivia

In Bolivia the frequency is 50 Hz. Regarding the voltage, consulted sources mention 230V or 115 / 230V. In practice this means you should mainly check carefully whether your device or charger is suitable for a wide input range. If your adapter states 100-240V and 50/60Hz, you're usually fine.

If you use an older device that is only suitable for 220-240V or only for one fixed voltage, then in addition to an adapter you may also need a voltage converter. Power Plugs & Sockets advises taking this into account, precisely because Bolivia is shown with 115 / 230V in some overviews.
