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

Traveling from Uruguay 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.

There's no plug compatibility between Uruguay and Colombia. Uruguay devices use Type C/F/I/L connectors, while Colombia sockets are Type A/B. An adapter is a must-have for this destination.

Voltage is another key difference. Uruguay uses 230V while Colombia uses 110V. If your device only supports one voltage, using it with the wrong supply could cause overheating or permanent damage. Look for "Input: 100-240V" on your charger. Most modern phone and laptop chargers support this range.

Don't forget that Colombia hotel rooms sometimes have a universal shaver socket in the bathroom, but these low-wattage outlets aren't suitable for high-draw devices. For reliable charging, use the standard wall outlets with a proper adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions
