Burkina Faso to Uruguay: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Burkina Faso to Uruguay? Plug types and voltage standards differ between countries, so a little preparation goes a long way. Here's a breakdown of what to expect at the wall socket.

Both Burkina Faso and Uruguay use Type C plugs, so your devices should plug right in. An adapter isn't strictly necessary for this trip.

The voltage and frequency in Uruguay (230V, 50Hz) are close to Burkina Faso (220V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Most modern phone chargers, laptop adapters, and camera chargers are designed to handle 100-240V input, so they'll work anywhere with just a plug adapter. Heat-producing appliances like hair dryers and flat irons are often single-voltage, so check before you plug them in abroad.
