Travel adapter from Zimbabwe to Peru
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Zimbabwe, you will need a travel adapter for Peru. Zimbabwe 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.
