Voltage & Frequency: Colombia uses 110V, 60Hz electrical current, matching North American standards. Devices from the US and Canada work directly without conversion.
Plug Types: Colombia uses Type A and Type B plugs (flat two-prong North American style). These are the standard outlets found in hotels, restaurants, and public spaces. European devices require adapters.
Adapters: Travelers from countries using different plug types (UK, Europe, Australia) need universal travel adapters available at electronics stores, airports, and many hotels. Purchase adapters before arrival or at international airports.
USB Charging: Many modern hotels and cafes provide USB charging ports. Portable power banks are recommended for all-day exploration as outlets are not always available in public spaces.
Electronics Safety: Surge protectors are recommended for expensive devices due to occasional power fluctuations. Hotel safes provide secure storage for valuable electronics when not in use.
