Guayaquil is a city in Ecuador, in Guayas, with a population of about 2,723,665. It uses the Ecuador Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Guayaquil).
Guayaquil 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 Quito.
Because Guayaquil lies at 2.20° S, 79.89° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 00 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 12 h 15 min.
