Santa Rita is located 144 km north-west of Tegucigalpa, so Dhuhr in Santa Rita is called roughly 3 minutes later than in Tegucigalpa. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Santa Rita.
