About the time in La Fortuna
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal La Fortuna 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.
Sunrise today lands at 05:31 and sunset at 05:55 local time, giving 12h 24m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (10.66, -85.17) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in La Fortuna.
Clocks in La Fortuna stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −6 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Costa Rica.
