Electric Outlets in Argentina
Hi!

Does Argentina use standard North American outlets or do we need to bring adapters? We will be in major cities during our trip. Thanks for the help.

Bring your adapters. The current is 220, and the prongs are different than in the United States....

Our adaptor did not work. We just went to a little
store and bought one for 2 pesos (67 cents US)
