  • The standard voltage in Puerto Rico is 120 volts AC. This voltage is supplied at a frequency of 60 Hz and is the same as what is available in the United States, so you won't need an adapter. Be advised, however, that Puerto Rico experiences frequent power outages. Bring a surge protector, if possible, to protect your devices.
  • Puerto Rico uses the U.S. Dollar as its official currency. Be aware that fewer businesses accept debit and credit cards, but ATMs are available across the island. Inform your bank that you will be in Puerto Rico prior to travel.
