About Guatire Time Zone

Guatire uses the IANA time zone name America/Caracas, the same zone used by Caracas and most of Venezuela. The city operates on UTC-4:00, meaning local time in Guatire is four hours behind Coordinated Universal Time year-round. This fixed offset is important for scheduling because Venezuela does not switch between seasonal summer and winter clock settings.

Guatire is located in Miranda state, just east of the Caracas metropolitan area, so its timekeeping is closely tied to the country’s political and commercial center. Because Guatire is part of the broader central-northern Venezuelan urban corridor, the local clock matters for commuting, retail hours, freight movement, and business coordination with nearby Caracas, Guarenas, and coastal ports.

Unlike places such as New York or London, Guatire does not currently observe daylight saving time. That means the offset to other cities changes seasonally only because those other cities move their clocks. For example, Guatire is typically 1 hour ahead of New York during US standard time but the same time as New York during US daylight saving time; it is 4 hours behind London in UK winter time and 5 hours behind London during British Summer Time.

Guatire City Details

Guatire is a city in Venezuela with a population of 227,666, making it a significant urban center in Miranda state and part of the larger economic orbit of Caracas. Its geographic coordinates are 10.474° latitude and -66.54241° longitude, placing it in north-central Venezuela not far from the Caribbean-facing corridor and major regional transport routes.

The local currency is the Venezuelan bolívar (VES), which is the currency used for everyday purchases, local services, and domestic pricing. The country dialing code is +58, so international callers contacting Guatire from abroad need to use Venezuela’s country code before the local number. These details are useful for travelers, cross-border vendors, and anyone arranging payments or phone contact with businesses in the city.
