Which travel plug do you need in Chile?

In Chile you will mainly come across sockets of type C and type L. Type C is the plug with two round pins and type L has three round pins. For travellers from the Netherlands and Belgium, type C may sometimes fit directly, but type L not always. That is why a universal travel plug is usually the safest choice.

Precisely because two different connections occur, it is smart not to rely on a single loose adapter. A universal solution gives more certainty if you stay in different places during your trip.

Do you need a universal travel plug in Chile?

For many travellers from the Netherlands and Belgium the answer is usually yes. Chile uses not only type C, but also type L. As a result, standard European plugs do not always fit directly into every socket. Electrical Safety First explains that for Chile you normally need a travel adaptor and that it only adapts the plug shape, not the voltage or frequency.

This is especially handy if you:

• bring several devices
• stay in different accommodations
• also visit other countries in South America
• do not want to depend on adapters on location

Mains voltage and voltage in Chile

In Chile the mains voltage is 220V at 50 Hz. That is no problem for many modern chargers, as long as the adapter states 100-240V and 50/60Hz. Electrical Safety First indicates that dual-voltage devices within that range usually do not need a converter or transformer, but only a travel adaptor.

If you use an older device that is only suitable for one fixed voltage, then in addition to an adapter you may also need a voltage converter. A travel adapter does not automatically change the voltage of your device.

Which devices do you want to take to Chile?

Anyone travelling to Chile usually takes more than just a phone charger. Think of a laptop, e-reader, camera, smartwatch charger, power bank or other travel accessories. Then it is nice to have one reliable solution with you so you can get going straight away.

A good travel plug for Chile is especially handy for:

• smartphones and tablets
• laptops and e-readers
• power banks and small travel gadgets

Handy if you combine Chile with other destinations

Chile is often combined with other destinations in South America. If you travel on, it is smart to also look at the power supply in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay or Venezuela. Electrical Safety First also refers on the Chile page to other South American countries, which makes such a combination logical.

For multiple destinations one good universal travel plug is often the easiest solution.
