About Tiquipaya Time Zone

Bolivia does not currently observe daylight saving time, so the offset remains stable across the year.
Tiquipaya is located in the Cochabamba Department of central Bolivia, close to the city of Cochabamba and within an important urban and agricultural corridor in the country’s interior. Because the offset does not change seasonally, scheduling with Tiquipaya is simpler than with places like New York or London, where daylight saving shifts alter the time difference during the year.

This means Tiquipaya is usually 1 hour ahead of Lima, while its difference from Santiago can vary depending on Chile’s daylight saving schedule.
