Longest and shortest day in Santa Cruz de la Sierra
The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 13h 11m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 11h 3m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 7m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:44 on 3 June; the latest is 18:54 on 18 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 05:28 on 24 November to 06:44 on 7 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Santa Cruz de la Sierra different
It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Over a year the sunset point slides 49° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 8 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 17 seconds a day.
Today's earliest sunset in Bolivia happens here, 19 minutes earlier than in La Paz.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 30 January and 12 November — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 5 weeks.
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 4 minutes later over the next fortnight.
Planning a sunset photo in Santa Cruz de la Sierra
Arrive by 17:28. Golden hour opens at 17:43 and the sun is down by 18:12, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 262° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
