Travel adapter from Sri Lanka to Peru

⚠️

Adapter Required

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