Your answer: Brazil → Belize
Plug adapter
Adapter required
Belize uses Type A, B; your Brazil plug (Type C, N) doesn't fit. Pack a Type A/B adapter — or a universal one if you travel often.
Voltage converter
Not needed
Both countries are on the same low-voltage standard (127V in Brazil, 110V in Belize). Your devices work as-is.

What this means for your trip
Going from Brazil to Belize you'll need a plug adapter, but voltage is identical on both sides, so that's one less thing to worry about.
Belize uses Type A/B outlets; Brazil uses Type C/N. The shapes are incompatible, so every plug you bring needs a Type A/B adapter to reach the socket. The cheapest option is a simple shape-only adapter for that one country; if you travel often, a universal adapter (fits every country) pays for itself in a single trip.
Voltage is the same on both ends (127V vs 110V, 60Hz vs 60Hz), so every charger that works at home works in Belize without modification. No voltage converter, no hunting for "100-240V" on the brick.
Frequently asked
Do I need a travel adapter for Belize from Brazil?
Yes. Belize uses Type A/B outlets, which don't accept Brazil's Type C/N plugs. Pack a Type A/B adapter — or a universal one if you travel often.
What type of plug does Belize use?
Belize uses Type A and Type B outlets at 110V, 60Hz. Two flat parallel pins. Common in North America, Central America, and Japan.
What's the voltage in Belize?
Belize runs on 110V at 60Hz. That's on the low-voltage standard, lower than Brazil's 127V supply. Most modern phones, laptops, tablets, and camera chargers are dual-voltage (check for "100-240V" on the brick) and work on either. Single-voltage devices like hair dryers, curling irons, and travel kettles will not — bring a dual-voltage travel version or a voltage converter.
Are Brazil chargers dual-voltage?
Most — but not all. Check the charger brick for a line that reads something like "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60Hz." If you see that, the charger works on either voltage standard and you only need a plug adapter. If it lists just "120V" (or just "230V"), it's single-voltage and can't be plugged straight into the other side without a voltage converter.
