About the time in Golfito
The zone identifier America/Costa_Rica is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Costa_Rica keeps pointing at Costa Rica time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Golfito sits at latitude 8.65, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 21m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
