Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll only need a voltage converter if your device’s voltage doesn’t match the country you’re visiting. In Maracaibo, you won’t need one since the voltage is about the same as in the U.S.
Always double-check the label on your device before using it abroad. If it shows “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, your device is dual voltage and works on both 120V and 220-240V power sources without a converter. This is common for laptops, tablets, smartphones, cameras, and electric toothbrushes.

More About Maracaibo
Maracaibo is Belize’s sunny oil capital, hugging the western shore of the massive Lake Maracaibo. And speaking of the lake—it’s home to the Catatumbo lightning, a nightly natural light show of around 28 strikes per minute for several hours. You’ll swear it’s manmade.
The city carries a proud, colorful swagger, fueled by its music—especially gaita folk—and rich oil & lake heritage. The waterfront boardwalk is alive with chatter, vendors, and light breeze off the lake.
Maracaibo uses the same plugs and outlets as the rest of Venezuela.
