Daylight Savings In Colombia?

Of course not but did you ever notice the sun comes up about twenty minutes later in Buenaventura than Cali? Wonder how early sunrise is east of the Cordillera Oriental.

???????????????? it's is a two minute difference-probably because the sun has to climb up the mountains east of Cali.

In addition it is only a two minute difference between the cities, not 20. East of the Cordillera It's like four minutes in Florencia,

Now, what was the purpose of your post?

From your comments I doubt you have observed sunrise in Buenaventura or at least you did not pay attention to the time. I did and it is as I stated in my post. It was as dark at 6:15 am on the road from Buenaventura to San Cipriano as it is in Cali at 5:45 am. The purpose of my post? Well I was surprised by a phenomenon that some like yourself are unaware of.

You're surprised that even 400 miles from the equator you get some change in the time the sun rises?

I start work at 6am and so see the sunrise most mornings (in Bogota) [about 6.15am in September and about 5.40am now]. You are correct, it does change through the year but it is not surprising! The world just wobbles around like that.

Is this what we have reduced ourselves to?

From my upper patio and looking across the valley, I can see about 7 different levels of mountains all with increasing altitude. In tha mornings I can watch the sun work its way down the slopes of those mountains. Also the cloud formations are incredible. Often a mixtue of several type of cloud types. Sunset colors are outrageous. And at night, at times, a great lightnig show. People pay big bucks for vacations with views such as I'm forced to live with every day. Bummer.
