Bolivia does not change its clocks
Bolivia stays on UTC−4:00 all year. Its offset from UTC never moves, so its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead — which is usually why someone checks. Right now it is 4 hours behind UTC, and 1 hour ahead of New York.

The day is 12 hours 52 minutes long in La Paz, and gaining 1 minute a day. The sun peaks at 12:16 pm, 16 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and La Paz sits 33 minutes of solar time west of UTC−4:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.
La Paz lies inside the tropics, so the sun passes directly overhead at noon twice a year — around February 3 and November 7 in 2026, when a vertical object casts almost no shadow. Nowhere outside the tropics ever sees that. The longest day is 13 hours 7 minutes and the shortest 11 hours 9 minutes, 118 minutes apart.
Bolivia’s offset has not moved once since 1970 — no daylight saving, and no change of zone.
