Business hours: calls and meetings
If both sides work from 09:00 to 18:00 local time, the workdays overlap from 11:00 to 18:00 Brasília time, which is 09:00 to 16:00 on UTC-5: 7 shared hours. A 09:00 start on UTC-5 is already 11:00 in Brasília, and the Brasília workday ends 2 hours before the local one, so the best slots for a call with Brasília are late morning and early afternoon. Always state the zone when you send an invitation ("14:00 Brasília time"), and use the meeting planner to compare several cities at once, or the time zone converter for an exact date.
Acre and southwestern Amazonas
UTC-5 is the westernmost zone of Brazil and includes all 22 municipalities of Acre plus 13 municipalities in the southwest of Amazonas. Between 2008 and 2013 these areas had used UTC-4; they returned to UTC-5 in November 2013. Because the rest of Amazonas stays on UTC-4, a trip inside the same state can mean a one-hour change on your watch.
