About the time in El Cacao
Sunrise today lands at 06:22 and sunset at 06:42 local time, giving 12h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (8.32, -82.57) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Cacao.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal El Cacao day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 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.
The zone identifier America/Panama is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Panama keeps pointing at Panama time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
