About the time in Arica
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Arica day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 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 06:55 and sunset at 06:30 local time, giving 11h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-18.54, -69.97) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Arica.
The zone identifier America/Santiago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Santiago keeps pointing at Santiago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
