Is it right that Brasilia has so many timezones, from GMT-3 up to GMT-8?

Note that the country name is "Brazil" in English, "Brasil" in Spanish and Portuguese (and presumably others as well). Brasilia is the capital city.


That being said, Brazil is a huge country. On the 6,400-mile air trip from Miami to São Paulo, well over half the trip is flown already inside Brazilian territory. It covers a significant chunk of South America. But for simplicity, I believe they only use two time zones: GMT-03 and GMT-04.
