What sort of power plus are there in South America?

Question

I am travelling to South America from New Zealand. Can anyone tell me what sort of power plugs are used and whether I can simply get an adapter and use my NZ appliances?

Answer 1

Almost all countries in south america use US Style plugs and current. Try this for more clarity.

Answer 2

if you have ever been to the US, South america has the other kind. I can't think of what it is called right now and the condo I stayed in, in Peru, already had converters when I arrived.

If you do a lot of international traveling, it's a good idea to invest in a converter.

Answer 3

I recommend you to buy a universal converter which you can find it in any international airport. In South America they use a form very diferent to the US, an a very similar form used in Spain and Portugal.
