Galápagos Islands Travel Adapters

Type A and Type B • 120 volts • 60 Hz

The Galápagos Islands (often spelled Galapagos Islands in English searches) are an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean located about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) west of mainland Ecuador. The islands are part of Ecuador and are known for their unique wildlife and role in Charles Darwin’s development of the theory of evolution. Many species found on the islands, including giant tortoises and marine iguanas, are found nowhere else in the world.

The Galápagos Islands use mains electricity supplied at about 120 volts at 60 Hz. Wall outlets typically use Type A and Type B sockets, the same as those used in mainland Ecuador and the United States. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors should confirm that their electronic devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter if necessary.

Plug types are listed because they are encountered in at least some installations. Presence may be partial, legacy, mixed, or situational. A travel adapter, also spelled travel adaptor, changes plug fit only; a voltage converter, sometimes searched as a voltage convertor, is needed only for devices that are not dual voltage. No plug type is excluded due to limited or declining use.
