Sunrise today lands at 06:10 and sunset at 06:06 local time, giving 11h 56m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-6.98, -76.43) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Cristobal.
Clocks in San Cristobal stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Peru.
