Sunrise today lands at 06:23 and sunset at 06:18 local time, giving 11h 56m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-6.94, -79.56) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Potrero.
El Potrero runs on America/Lima, which puts the city UTC −5 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.
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.
