About the time in San Carlos
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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:18 and sunset at 06:21 local time, giving 12h 03m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-2.54, -79.47) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Carlos.
San Carlos sits at latitude -2.54, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 03m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
