About Quibdó Time Zone
Quibdó uses the IANA time zone America/Bogota, which is the standard time zone for mainland Colombia. Its UTC offset is UTC-5 year-round, so local time in Quibdó is always five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time. Because Colombia keeps one national civil time standard, Quibdó follows the same clock as Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and Cartagena.
Quibdó does not observe daylight saving time. That means its offset stays at UTC-5 in January, June, and December, without seasonal clock changes. This is important for remote teams and travelers because the time difference between Quibdó and cities in the United States, Canada, or Europe can shift during the year when those countries enter or leave DST, even though Quibdó itself stays fixed.
Quibdó is the capital of Chocó Department in western Colombia, near the country’s Pacific side. In practical regional terms, Quibdó shares the same time as Lima, Peru and Quito, Ecuador for most standard comparisons, while it is one hour ahead of Panama City only when compared incorrectly by assumption—Panama is also UTC-5, so Quibdó and Panama City are actually the same time. It is typically one hour behind New York during US standard time and the same time as New York during US daylight saving time, which matters when setting business calls with North American teams.
Quibdó City Details
Quibdó has a population of 129,237, making it an important urban center in Colombia’s Pacific region and the administrative hub of Chocó Department. For scheduling, logistics, and travel coordination, this matters because Quibdó serves as a regional reference point for government services, commerce, education, and transport in an area with strong river and air connectivity rather than dense road integration.
The city is located at 5.69188° latitude, -76.65835° longitude. These coordinates place Quibdó in northwestern South America, west of Colombia’s Andean core and closer to the Pacific watershed, which can be relevant for weather-sensitive travel planning and regional operations.
Quibdó uses the Colombian peso (COP) as its official currency, and the country dialing code is +57. If you are arranging payments, hotel bookings, or local service calls, you should expect prices in COP and Colombian phone numbers beginning with the national code +57 when dialing internationally.
