About Chigorodó Time Zone

Chigorodó uses the IANA time zone America/Bogota, the standard time zone for mainland Colombia. Its standard offset is UTC-5, meaning local time in Chigorodó is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time throughout the year. Colombia does not currently observe daylight saving time, so Chigorodó stays on the same offset in January, June, and December.

Chigorodó is located in the Antioquia Department, in Colombia’s northwestern Urabá region, not far from the Caribbean-facing trade corridor and routes connecting toward Panama and the Gulf of Urabá. Because the entire country uses one national time standard, Chigorodó has the same local time as Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and Cartagena, which simplifies domestic scheduling for transport, government services, and internal business operations.

Compared with neighboring and nearby international time zones, Chigorodó is aligned with places that also use UTC-5 for part or all of the year, but the relationship changes seasonally where daylight saving time exists. For example, New York is the same time as Chigorodó during Northern Hemisphere winter when New York is on EST (UTC-5), but New York becomes 1 hour ahead during EDT (UTC-4). Panama and Peru remain aligned with Chigorodó year-round because they also use UTC-5 without daylight saving time.
