Argentina Travel Adapters

Type C and Type I • 220 volts • 50 Hz

In 2014, paleontologists in Argentine Patagonia unearthed the remains of Patagotitan mayorum, a titanosaur that lived roughly 100 to 95 million years ago. The 84 fossil pieces recovered make it one of the most complete giant titanosaur finds on record. Though still a juvenile, the animal is estimated to have weighed about 70 tons, roughly as much as ten African elephants.

Argentina is a large country located in the southern part of South America, bordered by Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, and Uruguay, with a long Atlantic coastline. The capital and largest city is Buenos Aires, which serves as the country's political, economic, and cultural center. The national currency is the Argentine peso.

Argentina follows electrical standards common in parts of South America, with mains electricity supplied at about 220 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets typically use the angled flat-pin design known as Type I, along with European round-pin sockets such as Type C in some installations. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible or universal travel adapter. Visitors from 120-volt countries should confirm that their devices are labeled 100–240V before plugging in, or use an appropriate voltage converter.
