About Las Cumbres Time Zone
Las Cumbres uses the America/Panama IANA time zone. Its standard offset is UTC-5, meaning local time in Las Cumbres is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time throughout the year. Panama does not observe daylight saving time, so Las Cumbres stays on UTC-5 in every month.
Las Cumbres is part of the Panama City metropolitan area in Panama Province, so its timekeeping matches the capital and major nearby districts. Because there is no seasonal clock change, local schedules remain stable for government offices, schools, domestic transport, and business operations across the region.

It is typically 1 hour behind parts of the U.S. East Coast during Northern Hemisphere summer when New York moves to daylight saving time, but aligned with Eastern Standard Time during winter. It is also 6 hours behind London in winter and 5 hours behind London in summer, since the UK changes clocks seasonally while Panama does not.
