Travel adapter from South Korea to Guatemala
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from South Korea, you will need a travel adapter for Guatemala. South Korea uses Type C/Type F plugs, and Guatemala uses Type A/Type B, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. Voltages differ (230 V at home vs 120 V abroad), so check the label on each device. Most modern dual-voltage chargers handle the swing without a converter, but heating appliances usually do not.
