Alotenango is located 36 km south-west of Guatemala City, so Dhuhr in Alotenango comes about 1 minute later than in Guatemala City. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Alotenango.
