About the time in Cartagena
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Cartagena 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:33 and sunset at 07:18 local time, giving 12h 45m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (21.97, -103.35) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Cartagena.
Around 47 people live in Cartagena, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
