There is no need for a voltage converter in Peru, when traveling from Hong Kong.
Pay attention to the frequency difference.

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 Peru. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my Hong Kong hair dryer in Peru?

Yes, you can use your Hong Kong hair dryer in Peru since the voltage is the same (220 V). However, due to the difference in frequency (50 Hz in Hong Kong, 60 Hz in Peru), the motor might run slightly differently. The hair dryer could heat up faster or slower but should still work. You do not need a voltage converter.

Can I use my Hong Kong laptop or smartphone in Peru?

Yes, your Hong Kong laptop or smartphone will work in Peru. Modern laptops and smartphones are designed to handle both 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies, so the frequency difference won’t be an issue.

Can I use my Hong Kong curling iron or hair straightener in Peru?

Yes, you should be able to use your Hong Kong curling iron or flat iron in Peru, as the voltage (220 V) is compatible. However, the difference in frequency (60Hz in Peru) could cause slight changes in performance. In most cases, the device should work, and a voltage converter is likely unnecessary. However, always make sure to check the label to verify compatibility with local standards.
