About time in Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta keeps Central Standard Time, UTC−6 from UTC all year. The offset never changes, so any difference between you and Puerto Vallarta moves only when your own clocks do.

Puerto Vallarta shares the zone America/Mexico_City with Mexico City, Iztapalapa, Ecatepec de Morelos, Guadalajara, so a time here is also the time there. One canonical page per zone keeps the difference honest: the settlement name changes, the clock does not.

Offsets and daylight saving rules come from the IANA time zone database — see IANA time zone notes for what that data does and does not promise about future dates.
