Honduras Travel Adapters
Type A and Type B • 120 volts • 60 Hz
Honduras is home to Copán, one of the most important cities of the ancient Maya world. Founded as a royal dynasty's seat in AD 426, it flourished for roughly four centuries as a hub linking the Maya heartland to cultures to the south. Its Hieroglyphic Stairway holds the longest known Maya inscription, and UNESCO named the site a World Heritage property in 1980.
Honduras is a country in Central America bordered by Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, with coastlines along both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The capital city is Tegucigalpa. Honduras is known for its tropical forests, Mayan archaeological sites such as Copan, and the Bay Islands in the Caribbean. The island of Roatan is especially known for scuba diving and snorkeling along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.
Honduras uses mains electricity supplied at about 120 volts at 60 Hz. Wall outlets use Type A and Type B sockets, the same plug types used in 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.

Do I need a voltage converter for Honduras?
No, in most cases. Honduras uses the same 120V, 60Hz electrical system as the United States, so US devices and chargers work without a voltage converter or a plug adapter. Travelers arriving from outside the US will still need a universal travel adapter to convert their home country's plug into Honduras's Type A and Type B outlets.
Can I use my US phone charger in Honduras?
Yes. Honduras uses the same Type A and Type B outlets and the same 120V, 60Hz supply as the United States, so a US phone or laptop charger plugs in directly with no adapter or converter needed.
Are Honduran and US power outlets interchangeable?
Yes. Honduras uses the same Type A and Type B outlets and the same 120V, 60Hz voltage and frequency as the United States, so there's no need for an adapter or converter when traveling between the two countries.
Does Honduras use more than one plug type?
Yes, the same two types used throughout the US: Type A, a two flat-pin plug, and Type B, which adds a third round grounding pin. Devices with either plug work in Honduras's outlets without an adapter.
