United States to Paraguay: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Planning a trip from United States to Paraguay? One of the first things to sort out before you travel is whether your electronics will work at your destination. Power outlets, plug shapes, and voltage standards vary around the world, and Paraguay is no exception.

The plug types are different between these two countries. In United States, outlets accept Type A/B, but in Paraguay you'll find Type C sockets. A travel plug adapter is essential for this trip.

Be aware that United States runs on 120V at 60Hz, while Paraguay uses 220V at 50Hz. This voltage difference matters for appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, and electric shavers that aren't dual-voltage. Check the label on your devices. If it says "100-240V," you're fine. Otherwise, you'll need a voltage converter.

Don't forget that Paraguay 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.
