Working hours
Chile operates on Chile Standard Time (CLT), which is GMT-3 during the summer months, and shifts briefly to GMT-4 in the southern hemisphere's winter months. Compared to Peru or Colombia, this made it significantly easier to maintain a similar working day to colleagues in Europe, requiring no major changes to your daily schedule.
For North Americans, this puts you marginally ahead of Eastern Standard Time and in a good place to maintain any work schedules with little adjustment.
