About the time in Costa Rica
The zone identifier America/Campo_Grande is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Campo_Grande keeps pointing at Campo Grande time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:46 and sunset at 05:24 local time, giving 11h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-18.64, -53.27) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Costa Rica.
Costa Rica sits at latitude -18.64, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
