Electricity in Peru and Ecuador

[bfahrion]

Hi all, we are travelling to Lima, Cuzco, Puno, then on to Galapagos Islands in September. I am wondering about electrical outlets, (plugins )in these cities, and boats, as I am concerned about charging my camera batteries. I have seen some plugs, seem the same as Canada, but also wondering if I should take an adapter as well.
We enjoy all the comments posted.
Thankyou

In Peru and Ecuador the voltage is 220V (alternating at 60 cycles per second). I would also by all means take an adapter. ELectrical outlets in Peru are not always constant and you will most likely find a couple of different styles.
