The zone holds UTC−5 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 46m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 29m. The swing between them is 1h 17m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Barranquilla the sun comes up earliest on 31 May at 05:35, while the latest sunset waits until 13 July at 18:26.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Barranquilla that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
