Can I use my devices in Guyana?
The local supply in Guyana is 240 V / 60 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.
- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
- AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 240 V.
Guyana is a unique destination on South America's northern coast, English-speaking and deeply connected to the Caribbean in culture, with vast rainforests, the Kaieteur Falls and exceptional birdwatching in Iwokrama.
There, the main plug types A, B, D and G are used and the standard supply is 240 V at 60 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip Guyana uses type A and B flat-pin sockets. Power outages can occur, especially in more remote areas. Keeping a power bank charged and bringing quality chargers is advisable for longer stays.
