About the time in El Alto
The zone identifier America/Monterrey is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Monterrey keeps pointing at Monterrey time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
El Alto sits at latitude 25.24, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 50m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:16 and sunset at 07:06 local time, giving 12h 50m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (25.24, -99.68) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Alto.
