About the time in El Centenario
El Centenario runs on America/Mexico_City, which puts the city UTC −6 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.

Around 61 people live in El Centenario, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal El Centenario day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 15:00–23:00 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.
