About the time in La Merced
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal La Merced day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 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 05:57 and sunset at 06:12 local time, giving 12h 16m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (5.40, -75.55) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in La Merced.
La Merced sits at latitude 5.40, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 16m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
