From Cayman Islands to Colombia
When travelling from Cayman Islands to Colombia: Good news: all your Cayman Islands plug types fit in Colombia. Voltage is different (120V → 110V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 110V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 60Hz.

About electricity in Colombia
Colombia uses 110V/60Hz with Type A and B sockets, the North American standard.
Grid & history
Hydropower is the backbone of Colombia’s grid; gas-fired plants cover dry years (El Niño droughts have historically caused rationing). Solar and wind in La Guajira are scaling up.
Availability
Reliable in Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena, and tourist areas. Pacific coast and rural Amazon can see outages.
Sockets & hotels
Standard North American sockets. Type B (grounded) is the norm in newer buildings.
Energy mix
Hydropower-dominated.
Practical tips
- US plugs fit Colombian sockets directly.
- Voltage is 110V; European 230V-only appliances need a converter.
