IANA zones · the technical identifiers
The zone that resolve to COYHAI.
For software, always store the IANA identifier — never the abbreviation alone. The database keeps these zones distinct because their rules can, and historically did, diverge.

- Is Coyhaique Time always UTC‑03:00?
- Yes. The representative zone América/Coyhaique currently uses a fixed UTC‑03:00 offset with no daylight‑saving transitions scheduled.
- Has this region ever used daylight saving?
- Historically Chile has changed its clocks in other regions, but for this page we only track current and future observances in this code, which is set to no DST.
- Which cities use this time?
- The main reference city is Coyhaique in Chile’s Aysén Region, covering the long, scenic stretch near Patagonia’s northern end.
- Does Coyhaique Time match nearby zones like Santiago or Punta Arenas?
- Not always. Even when their offsets look similar, small historical shifts, legal changes, or different DST rules can cause temporary gaps.
- Is Coyhaique Time safe for scheduling across time zones?
- Because it’s fixed, you won’t get surprise jumps, but always confirm with local partners and check official Chilean sources if something feels off.
- What’s the best way to refer to this offset in emails?
- Write “UTC‑03:00” and mention the city or “Coyhaique Time (America/Coyhaique)” so remote teams can anchor themselves without confusion.
- Why are there few references to this time in software?
- Custom zones like this one are used mainly for old or niche calendars; most apps stick with standard zones like Santiago or Punta Arenas for general Chilean time.
