Uruguay.

230 V · 50 Hz on Type F, Type C, Type L.

Uruguayan walls are a mix: Schuko Type F sockets alongside the Italian-style three-pin-in-line Type L, all at 230 V 50 Hz, with the Type C europlug fitting most outlets either way. European dual-voltage gear travels well here; a combined F/L adapter set is the safe bet since you cannot predict which socket a given room has.

The voltage window

A nominal 230 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 207 and 253 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.
