Coyhaique Time (COYHAI)

FAQs

Coyhaique Time (COYHAI) represents Chile's remote southern gateway to Patagonia, anchored by the quiet timezone of Coyhaique — and unlike most of the country, it has settled permanently on UTC‑03:00, keeping clocks steady year‑round with no daylight‑saving shifts.

  • Why doesn't Coyhaique observe daylight saving time?

    In April 2015, Chile abolished daylight saving nationwide, leaving Coyhaique on a fixed UTC‑03:00. That means no more spring‑forward, fall‑back — just one reliable offset all year.

  • What makes COYHAI unique among Chilean timezones?

    It is the only region dedicated to Coyhaique Time, covering a single zone with no daylight saving.
