Are the electrical outlets the same in Peru as they are in the US? How about the voltage? Thanks.

Electricity is 220v and 50/60 cycles. Sockets are fitted to accept both flat and round plugs. The metric system is used except for gasoline, which is measured in gallons. Conversions can be found here: www.worldwidemetric.com/metcal.htm

Since you are in Korea now, Naturegirl, does that mean that you can use Peruvian electronics in Korea and vice-versa?

[naturegirl321]

I don't have an electronics, except my laptop, voltage is the same, but the plug design is different. SO I haven't had any problems.

For U.S. appliances you�ll need to get a voltage adapter. If you�re in Lima they�re readily available on the streets for cheap.

But don�t let your suspicious, ignorant landlord see the adapter.

Mine wanted me to hike my monthly electricity bill because of it.
