About the time in Santa Cruz
The zone identifier Pacific/Galapagos is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Pacific/Galapagos keeps pointing at Galapagos time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:01 and sunset at 06:07 local time, giving 12h 06m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-0.63, -90.36) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz follows the civil time used across its region of Ecuador; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
