Daylight Saving Time Considerations

Both Denver and Santiago observe Daylight Saving Time. Denver uses MST/MDT (switching between standard and daylight time), while Santiago uses CLT/CLST. If their DST transitions happen on different dates — which is common, as the US, EU, and other regions change clocks on different weekends — the effective time difference between the two cities can shift by 1 hour for several weeks. Always double-check the actual offset during March–April and October–November.

MST (MST/MDT) stands for the timezone used in Denver, United States (UTC-7). CLT (CLT/CLST) is the timezone used in Santiago, Chile (UTC-4). Denver is 3 hours behind Santiago.

To convert MST to CLT, add 3 hours to MST time. For example, MST 9:00 AM = CLT 12:00 PM.
