Chile.

220 V · 50 Hz on Type L, Type C.

Chile wires its walls with the Italian-style Type L socket, three round pins in a line, at 220 V and 50 Hz. Europlugs push straight into the outer holes, so most European chargers work with no adapter at all. Travellers from North America need an adapter plus dual-voltage gear; UK and Australian plugs need adapting as well.

The voltage window

A nominal 220 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 198 and 242 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.

Pack an adapter — Chile runs 220 V 50 Hz on Type L, Type C — and your 120 V appliances need to be dual-voltage or transformed, adapter or not.
