Canada to Peru: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Whether it's a business trip or a vacation, traveling from Canada to Peru requires a quick check on power compatibility. The last thing you want is to arrive and discover your charger doesn't fit the outlets.
Good news: Canada and Peru share compatible plug types (Type A). Your existing plugs should fit directly into Peru's outlets without any adapter needed.
The electrical standards differ significantly: Canada operates at 120V/60Hz and Peru at 220V/60Hz. For single-voltage appliances (hair straighteners, kettles, etc.), this mismatch could damage your device or even be a safety hazard. Always verify your device's voltage rating before plugging in.
A universal travel adapter with multiple plug configurations is a smart investment if you travel frequently. For Peru specifically, look for one that supports Type A/C outlets. USB charging ports built into the adapter are a nice bonus.
