Travel adapter from Peru to New Zealand
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Peru, you will need a travel adapter for New Zealand. Peru uses Type A/Type B/Type C plugs, and New Zealand uses Type I, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
