Longest and shortest day in La Paz

The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 13h 6m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 11h 8m.

Between them the day length swings by 1h 58m.

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

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:23, a full 24 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

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.

Among 9 tracked Bolivia cities, sunset comes latest here, separated from Santa Cruz de la Sierra by 20 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 6 weeks.

Standing 3,782 m up buys you 8.9 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 3 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 2 minutes later over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in La Paz

Arrive by 17:45. Golden hour opens at 18:00 and the sun is down by 18:29, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 268° 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 18:42 and runs to 18:50, 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.
