About the time in Paltamarca
Around 321 people live in Paltamarca, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:08 and sunset at 05:54 local time, giving 11h 46m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-12.51, -74.51) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Paltamarca.
Paltamarca sits at latitude -12.51, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 46m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
