When traveling to Uruguay, you’ll want to ensure you’re as well-prepared as possible. It’s important to consider the use of power outlets and plugs in your destination country. Not every country uses the same type of outlets, and of course, you’ll want to be able to use your phone, camera, shaver, and other electronic devices. Additionally, some countries have different voltage levels or frequencies. You may need a travel adapter, also known as a universal adapter. In this article, we provide all the information you need to travel to Uruguay with peace of mind!

In the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and European countries, the following plug types are used:

• United States and Canada: Type A and B plugs. These are not compatible with outlets in Uruguay.
• Australia: Type I plugs. These are compatible with type I outlets in Uruguay.
• United Kingdom: Type G plugs. These fit only in type G outlets and are not compatible with outlets in Uruguay.
• European countries: Type C, E, and F plugs. Type C, E, and F plugs are compatible with outlets in Uruguay.
