Electricity: The voltage in Gramado is 200v. Most major hotels have 110V and 220V outlets. To avoid ruining your appliances, it is advisable to consult the hotel before plugging anything in. The wall outlets normally have two round pins, although the outlets in many new facilities will accept both regular U.S. and Brazilian types of plugs. However, universal adapters are a good acquisition and would avoid mechanical incompatibility between foreigner plugs types and local sockets. Some outlets may require a ground pin. U.S.-Brazilian conversion plugs, suitable for dual-voltage appliances, can be purchased at the airport and in electrical stores in Brazil.
