Guatemala to Peru: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Whether it's a business trip or a vacation, traveling from Guatemala 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: Guatemala 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: Guatemala 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.
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.
