Current Time in Colombia
Live clocks for every Colombia city — UTC offsets, DST status, and inter-city time gaps.
Colombia's Timezone System Explained
Colombia uses Colombia Time (COT, UTC−5) year-round. There is no daylight saving time — Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Cartagena, and all Colombian cities operate on a fixed UTC−5 offset in all seasons.
The UTC−5 position aligns Colombia exactly with US Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter, and with US Central Daylight Time (CDT) during US summer. This makes Colombia well-positioned for US business collaboration, as there is often minimal time difference for half the year.
Key time differences from Bogotá (COT): New York (EST) is on the same time in winter, 1 hour ahead during EDT. Los Angeles (PST) is 3 hours behind in winter. London (GMT) is 5 hours ahead in winter. São Paulo (BRT) is 2 hours ahead. Mexico City (CST) is 1 hour behind.
