Poblado should have three prong outlets versus few places in Laureles where they only have two plug outlets. You might need to pack or purchase an adapter.

If you are traveling from Europe, Asia, or other countries you will need an adapter. Check your voltage if your device also needs a transformer.

There are several places you can purchase an adapter or a transformer. You can find adapters in several stores like:

Jumbo

HomeCentre

Exito

Monterey Mall – Probably the best, cheapest place to purchase one. Since the mall caters to everything electronics (new and used)

Falabella

While power outages are rare here, be sure to pack your travel surge power protector or pick one up at one of these locations.
