Costa Rica to Colombia: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) No Adapter Needed
Traveling from Costa Rica to Colombia means crossing into a different electrical system. Before you leave, take a moment to understand the plug types and voltage used in Colombia so you can keep all your devices charged and ready.
Both Costa Rica and Colombia use Type A/B plugs, so your devices should plug right in. An adapter isn't strictly necessary for this trip.
On the voltage front, Costa Rica (120V, 60Hz) and Colombia (110V, 60Hz) are very similar. You shouldn't need a voltage converter for your electronics.
A universal travel adapter with multiple plug configurations is a smart investment if you travel frequently. For Colombia specifically, look for one that supports Type A/B outlets. USB charging ports built into the adapter are a nice bonus.
