Bogotá is the capital of Colombia, with a population of about 7,674,366. It uses the Colombia Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Bogota).
Bogotá does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC−5 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Cali, Medellín.
Because Bogotá lies at 4.61° N, 74.08° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 23 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 52 min.
