115 / 230 V
50 Hz
In Bolivia, they use power outlets and plugs of type A and type C. The voltage is 115 / 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.
You will need an adapter for type A and C power outlets in Bolivia Consider getting a voltage converter.In Bolivia, type A and C power outlets are used, while in Germany, you use plugs C and F. If you're traveling to Bolivia, you'll need a power adapter for types A and C, as your power plugs won't fit the sockets there.
Your plugs C and F do not match outlet type A.
Your plug F does not match outlet type C.
Power plug F works with type C outlets, though it doesn’t have grounding support.Since you'll need a travel adapter for Bolivia when coming from Germany, we suggest opting for a universal power adapter that works in many countries and will also prepare you for future trips.
Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type A and C. If you often go abroad, consider getting an all-in-one adapter (most adapters even have additional charging ports for USB-A and USB-C). Since you also need an international power (voltage) converter to keep your devices protected (more info further down), getting a combo power adapter/converter might be the best solution.
Bolivia uses both 115 V and 230 V, with a frequency of 50 Hz. This means voltage levels can vary depending on your location, even between different accommodations. In Germany, your devices are typically designed for a 230 V electrical system. To ensure you don’t damage your devices, always check the local voltage before use, and if it’s 115 V, use a converter.

50 Hz115 / 230 V50 HzA voltage converter might be required, as Bolivia's voltage levels vary and may not match your electronics.A voltage converter keeps your electrical devices from Bolivia running properly by adjusting the power to the right voltage. Without it, your devices could overheat or get damaged from the wrong power supply. Since you need a travel adapter as well, a combo power (voltage) converter with adapter features might be a good choice.
To confirm, check if your devices require a voltage converter by looking at the 'INPUT' label, typically found on the power adapter or charger. If the label shows "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," the device is built to handle different voltage and frequency ranges, meaning you’ll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in Bolivia. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
In Bolivia's 115 V regions your hair dryer could malfunction as your hair dryer is designed for Bolivia's 230 V, so you will need a voltage converter. However, where Bolivia's outlets deliver 230 V, you won’t need a voltage converter, as both countries use compatible voltage (230 V and 230 V) and frequency (50 Hz) levels.
Yes, most laptops and smartphones support a wide voltage range (100-240V), so you can use them in Bolivia without a voltage converter. Since both countries use the same frequency (50 Hz), there’s no issue.
In Bolivia's 115 V regions you will need a voltage converter to prevent malfunction as your curling iron / hair straightener is designed for Bolivia's 230 V. However, where Bolivia's outlets deliver 230 V, no voltage converter is necessary. Since the frequency is the same (50 Hz), the device should function normally.
Yes, when traveling from Germany, you will need a power adapter for type A and C power outlets in Bolivia.
In Bolivia's 115 V regions you will need a voltage converter, since your Germany's device will typically support 230 V. In regions where 230 is used, a converter is not necessary. Since both countries use the same frequency (50 Hz), there won’t be issues related to frequency.
