About the time in Santa Marta
The zone identifier America/Panama is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Panama keeps pointing at Panama time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:22 and sunset at 06:44 local time, giving 12h 22m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (8.70, -82.59) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Marta.
Clocks in Santa Marta 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 Panama.
