Belén sits at latitude 9.98, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 24m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 21,633 people live in Belén, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Belén day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 15:00–23:00 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.
