Brazil Time Zones Guide

Brazil's zone map has changed several times. Today there are **four official zones** (UTC-2 through UTC-5), and **nationwide DST ended in 2019**. South American trade and live events often hit errors when old DST news circulates — trust current IANA data.

Main IANA zones

• America/Noronha — Fernando de Noronha (UTC-2)
• America/Sao_Paulo — Brasília, São Paulo, Rio (UTC-3)
• America/Manaus — Amazon region (UTC-4)
• America/Rio_Branco — Acre (UTC-5)

Neighbors

• Argentina (America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires): usually UTC-3, no DST
• Chile: DST history is complex — check IANA
• São Paulo vs New York: 1–2 hours apart depending on US DST
• São Paulo vs London: 3–4 hours
