Voltage: Brazil uses 110V and 220V depending on location. Belo Horizonte primarily uses 110V-120V, but some areas have 220V. Check with hotel or establishment.
Frequency: 60Hz (same as North America).
Plug Types: Brazil uses Type N plugs (three round pins in triangular arrangement). This is different from North American, European, and most international standards.
Adapters & Converters: Universal adapters are essential for visitors from other countries. Type N specific adapters available at airport, hotels, and electronics stores in Brazil. Recommend bringing from home or purchasing before arrival.
Voltage Considerations: Electronics designed for 110V work fine. Dual-voltage devices (100-240V) are safest. Single voltage 220V devices may be damaged on 110V circuits without proper converters.
Where to Buy: Airport duty-free shops, electronics stores in malls, and hotel concierge can provide adapters. Quality varies; bring backup from home if possible.
