Hi All,
Chile has 2 adapters, C & L, the latter is often not included in universal adapters. But we’ve read that many hotels (especially older, standard ones) can have both kinds of plugs in the same room! Would very much appreciate your guidance on what is most practical way to cover this?
I would prefer a universal adapter, but can’t find any sold ones that include Europe, Chile & Argentina. But primary need now is to be ready for Argentina & Chile.
Thank you!

For most everything, simply use the type C adapter, it will fit in both C and L. The difference between the two is that the L has a center ground pin. It is the same as in the US, a 2 prong type A plug will work in an A or B (three prong) socket, the type B and L plugs will only fit in their 3 prong sockets.
The question would then be, do you need a ground? And for most all electronics like phone chargers, tablets, most laptops, the answer is no. If you will have higher power appliances, then maybe.
