Brazil: 127V or 220V?

Brazil has no single national voltage — most of the south and southeast (São Paulo, Rio) is 127V, while the northeast and the capital Brasília are 220V, and the two can coexist on the same street.

Always confirm the voltage of your specific city or hotel before plugging in. The frequency is 60Hz nationwide.

Because the voltage varies, only travel with dual-voltage (100–240V) devices and a Type N adapter to be safe.

If your device is single-voltage, check the outlet or ask your host for the local voltage — do not assume.
