Guatemala is located within the Central Time Zone, which is UTC-06:00. Daylight saving time is observed in Guatemala, with the local timezone adjusted to UTC-05:00 during that period.
The country is divided into three time zones by longitude. The first is the Eastern Standard Time Zone, and the other two are the Central Daylight Time Zone and Central Standard Time Zone. The former is in effect for a portion of the year, when the clocks in Guatemala are adjusted to run one hour later than the Eastern Standard Time Zone.
Guatemala is also home to several small indigenous communities, some of which follow their own time or calendar systems, or run on solar or lunar cycles.
