About the time in Santa Elena
Santa Elena sits at latitude 18.16, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 36m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 07:04 local time, giving 12h 36m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.16, -71.12) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Elena.
Clocks in Santa Elena stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −4 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Dominican Republic.
