Did You Know?

A City on a Knife-Edge Ridge

Manizales is built along a narrow Andean ridge at about 2,150 metres, which is why its streets rise and fall so steeply and why it has cable cars as public transport. Nevado del Ruiz nearby erupted in 1985, killing over 23,000 in Armero.

The clock: Manizales keeps UTC−5. Its cathedral tower, at 106 metres, is the tallest in Colombia.

Manizales lies at 75.5°W. Its time zone, UTC−5, is built around the 75°W meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:02, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. The zone holds UTC−5 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 25m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 50m. The swing between them is 35 minutes. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Manizales the sun comes up earliest on 23 October at 05:47, while the latest sunset waits until 20 July at 18:20. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

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

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
