Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:06 on 3 June; the latest is 19:12 on 19 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:50 on 23 November to 07:02 on 8 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in La Paz different

It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 1h 58m here — among the narrowest of the 9 cities tracked in Bolivia.

Between solstices the sunset walks 49° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 7 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 15 seconds a day.

Among 9 tracked Bolivia cities, sunset comes latest here, separated from Santa Cruz de la Sierra by 19 minutes.

On 3 February and 8 November the midday sun stands at the zenith, 278 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow. The next one is in 4 weeks.

Standing 3,782 m up buys you 9 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 2.13° here.

The times barely move this week: the longest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 2 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 3 minutes later over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in La Paz

Arrive by 17:47. Golden hour opens at 18:02 and the sun is down by 18:31, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:44 and runs to 18:53, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in La Paz — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
