Discover the Riviera Maya with Drivey: Guide to Electrical Outlets in Cancun and Mexico

Hello, travelers! If you're planning a getaway to the beautiful Riviera Maya, there are a few things you should know before packing your bags. Besides your swimsuit and sunscreen, it’s important to consider the type of electrical plug used in Cancun and throughout Mexico. Here’s everything you need to know to stay connected and make the most of your adventure.

Electrical Outlets in Mexico

In Mexico, electrical outlets are of type A and B. This means that if you're coming from a country that uses type C, D, E, F, G, or any other plugs, you will need an adapter. Type A plugs have two parallel flat pins, while type B plugs have two parallel flat pins and a round grounding pin.

Voltage and Frequency

The voltage in Mexico is 127 V, and the frequency is 60 Hz. If your devices are not compatible with this voltage, you will need a power converter in addition to a plug adapter. Make sure to check your devices' specifications before traveling to avoid any surprises.

Don’t Forget Your Adapter!

To avoid the stress of searching for an adapter at the last minute, we recommend buying one before your trip. Universal adapters are a great option as they can be used in different countries, which will be useful for future travels.

This is the type of outlet Mexico uses for type A and B plugs.
