Golden hour in Caracas in February

Caracas lies at 10.48° N, in the tropics, where the sun climbs steeply and sets fast. Its longest measured day falls on Thu 18 June 2026 with 12h 44m of daylight, and its shortest on Fri 18 December 2026 with 11h 31m — a difference of 1h 13m between the two extremes.

Evening golden hour in Caracas runs for roughly 30 minutes at the height of summer, 28 minutes around the March equinox and 31 minutes at midwinter. The warm window is actually widest in the colder months, which makes winter evenings unusually forgiving here.

The sun sets toward 294° WNW in late June and toward 246° WSW in late December, a shift of about 48° in where the last light lands — worth checking before committing to a west-facing viewpoint. In Caracas, the sky reaches full darkness between evening and morning twilight year-round.
