Time and Holidays

Time

Continental Chile has a time based on the UTC-04:00 and it falls in the same timeline as the Eastern Time DST in the United States.
However, during summer time the time varies, skipping ahead an hour and ending up in the same hour than New York.
Insular Chile, on the other hand, which means Easter Island is set in the UTC-06:00 in winter and UTC-05:00 in summer.
