🇧🇿Power in Belize.

Belize operates on both 110V and 220V at 60Hz with Type A, B, and G outlets throughout the country. US travelers can plug directly into Type A and B sockets without adapters, but may encounter British-style Type G outlets requiring a UK adapter.

The dual voltage system means checking your device specifications before plugging in, especially for sensitive electronics that may not handle the voltage variation.
