About the time in Alca
Alca runs on America/Lima, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Alca follows the civil time used across its region of Peru; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Alca sits at latitude -15.17, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 41m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
