I'll be going to Peru for 2 weeks and I was wondering if I could plug in my electronics over there. I read that they have both North American and European outlets and the voltage is 220 V and 60 Hz. My iPod wall charger and phone charger say 100~240 V (and my laptop charger says 100-240 V) and 50/60 Hz. Would I need to buy a transformer while I'm there so my stuff doesn't get all burnt out?
no you dont need to. its pretty much the same w electronics over there.
most south american and north american countries are the same plug sockets and voltage. also you can but anything there
If the charger/adapter says 100~240V it means you can plug it directly to the wall. Otherwise, you will have to buy a step-down transformer (240V to 120V). While you could buy a transformer at Walmart, Radioshack or BestBuy, I'd recommend buying it at any hardware store in Peru. They tend to be cheaper in Peru by some reason (less than $10). I would also recommend buying one of those plug adapters, since power outlets in Peru don't have a hole for the ground pin (they use 2-pin connectors).
