About the time in Manta
Sunrise today lands at 06:23 and sunset at 06:28 local time, giving 12h 05m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-1.01, -80.77) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Manta.
Manta follows the civil time used across its region of Ecuador; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
The zone identifier America/Guayaquil is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Guayaquil keeps pointing at Guayaquil time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
