Travel adapter from Tuvalu to Brazil
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Tuvalu, you will need a travel adapter for Brazil. Tuvalu uses Type I plugs, and Brazil uses Type C/Type N, 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.
