About Brasília Time (BRT)

Brasília Time (BRT, IANA: America/Sao_Paulo) is the official civil time of Brazil's most populous regions, set at UTC-3:00 — named after the federal capital city of Brasília. BRT serves approximately 175 million people across 23 of Brazil's 26 states + Federal District including the megacities São Paulo (12M), Rio de Janeiro (6.7M), Salvador (2.9M), Fortaleza (2.7M), Belo Horizonte (2.5M), Brasília (3.1M), Curitiba (1.9M). Brazil abolished Daylight Saving Time in 2019 by Presidential Decree 9772/2019 (citing minimal energy savings and disruption costs), so BRT is observed year-round without seasonal change since then. Acre State and a small portion of Amazonas use Acre Time (ACT = UTC-5:00); the remainder of Amazonas plus Mato Grosso/Mato Grosso do Sul/Rondônia use Amazon Time (AMT = UTC-4:00); the Fernando de Noronha archipelago uses UTC-2:00. BRT affects: B3 (São Paulo Stock Exchange) trading hours, Brazilian football Série A match scheduling, and Petrobras / Vale international corporate-call timing.

About Colombia Time (COT)

Colombia Time (COT, IANA: America/Bogota) is the official civil time of the Republic of Colombia, set at UTC-5:00 year-round. Colombia abolished Daylight Saving Time in 1993 after a brief experimental DST period (1992-1993), so COT is observed without seasonal change since then. COT serves approximately 52 million people across Colombia's 32 departments + Bogotá Capital District. Major cities: Bogotá (8M city, 11M metro — capital), Medellín (2.5M city, 4M metro), Cali (2.3M), Barranquilla (1.3M), Cartagena (1M), Cúcuta (700K), Bucaramanga (600K). COT is identical in offset to Eastern Standard Time (EST) US, Cuban Standard Time (CST-Cu), Peru Time (PET), and Ecuador Time (ECT). The San Andrés and Providencia archipelago in the Caribbean Sea (closer to Nicaragua than to mainland Colombia) also observes COT. Affects: Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (BVC) trading hours, Ecopetrol oil-pipeline operations, Café de Colombia harvest-season coordination, and Cartagena de Indias cruise-ship port arrivals scheduling.
