Sunrise today lands at 05:26 and sunset at 05:50 local time, giving 12h 24m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (10.19, -83.85) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Guápiles.
Around 36,469 people live in Guápiles, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Guápiles sits at latitude 10.19, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 24m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
