About the time in Quito
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Quito 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 06:14 and sunset at 06:20 local time, giving 12h 06m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-0.21, -78.52) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Quito.
Quito sits at latitude -0.21, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 06m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
