Prayer Times in Campo de la Cruz, Colombia

About the times on this page

Praying in Campo de la Cruz means facing a point roughly 12,062 kilometres off, around the curve of the world. At that range the great-circle route matters: the qibla from here runs east-north-east, about 63°, which surprises people expecting otherwise.

Season by season in Campo de la Cruz

Near the equator the timetable is remarkably stable. Campo de la Cruz sees close to twelve hours of daylight in every month, so Fajr and Maghrib move by minutes rather than hours across the year.

The shape of the day

Fajr opens the day at 4:36 am, well before first light. By 5:50 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:43 am; Asr comes round at 3:59 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:36 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:06 pm. Around 11 hours and 46 minutes of daylight, all told.

For tahajjud

Between Isha at 7:06 pm and Fajr at 4:36 am there are about 9 hours and 30 minutes. For anyone praying tahajjud, the last third of that period is the part traditionally singled out — work back from Fajr rather than forward from Isha to find it.

Fasting hours

The fasting day here runs 4:36 am to 5:36 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 13 hours. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

How the times are worked out

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.
