About the time in Cuenca
Cuenca sits at latitude -12.46, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 46m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Cuenca follows the civil time used across its region of Peru; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
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.
