El Alto runs on America/La_Paz, which puts the city UTC −4 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Sunrise today lands at 06:45 and sunset at 06:25 local time, giving 11h 40m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-16.48, -68.18) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Alto.
