About the time in Ambato
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Ambato day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 06:15 and sunset at 06:20 local time, giving 12h 05m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-1.27, -78.75) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ambato.
