DETAILS · SOCKETS, ADAPTER, VOLTAGE & FREQUENCY IN Paraguay
Can I use my devices in Paraguay?
The local supply in Paraguay is 220 V / 50 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 220 V.
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.
Tip Paraguay uses type C alongside its own national three-pin socket type, which can vary between buildings. A universal adapter is the most practical option, especially if you are combining Paraguay with neighboring Argentina or Bolivia on a broader South American itinerary.
