Paraguay is one of South America's least visited countries, a landlocked nation with a strong Guaraní cultural identity, the Jesuit mission ruins of Trinidad and a landscape of rivers, wetlands and subtropical forest.
There, the main plug type C are used and the standard supply is 220 V at 50 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.
