Can I use my devices in Colombia?
The local supply in Colombia is 110 V / 60 Hz. Your home power standard is compatible on both voltage and frequency, so no voltage converter is required. Most common devices can be used safely as long as the plug fits the socket or you use the correct travel adapter.
- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks can usually be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- OKAY Laptops, game consoles and monitors do not need a voltage converter here, because voltage and frequency are compatible.
- OKAY Single-voltage devices, including many hair dryers, straighteners and kettles, do not need a voltage converter here because the local power standard matches your home standard.
Colombia has transformed its image and is now one of South America's most exciting travel destinations, with the colonial charm of Cartagena, the lush coffee region, the Caribbean and Pacific coasts and the vibrant street art scene of Medellín.
There, the main plug types A and B are used and the standard supply is 110 V at 60 Hz. In most cases you will not need a travel adapter if your plugs match the local socket type. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip Colombia uses type A and B flat-pin sockets at 110V. Older buildings sometimes only have type A ungrounded sockets, so a grounded type B outlet may not always be available. Travelers from Europe and most of Asia need a flat-pin adapter.
