About the time in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires sits at latitude -6.21, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 57m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 06:09 local time, giving 11h 57m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-6.21, -77.14) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Buenos Aires.
The zone identifier America/Lima is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Lima keeps pointing at Lima time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
