About Atlantic Standard Time (AST)

Atlantic Standard Time (AST, IANA: America/Halifax, America/Puerto_Rico) is the time zone for the Canadian Maritime provinces and most of the Caribbean, set at UTC-4:00. AST is observed in: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Labrador (partially), Newfoundland's Labrador portion, eastern Quebec, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Anguilla, Antigua, Aruba, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Curaçao, Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela (since 2007). Canadian Maritime provinces observe AST in winter and switch to ADT = UTC-3:00 in summer per the Energy Policy Act-aligned Canadian schedule. The Caribbean territories (Puerto Rico, USVI, Bermuda) and US territories observe AST year-round without DST per their territorial governments. AST is the same offset as EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) during US summer months, so Halifax and New York are on the same clock in summer but Halifax is one hour ahead in winter.

About Peru Time (PET)

Peru Time (PET, IANA: America/Lima) is the official civil time of the Republic of Peru, set at UTC-5:00 year-round. Peru abolished Daylight Saving Time long ago — a brief DST experiment in 1994 was discontinued — so PET is observed without seasonal change. PET serves approximately 34 million people across Peru's 24 departments + Constitutional Province of Callao. Major cities: Lima (10M metro — capital and the third-largest South American metro after São Paulo and Buenos Aires), Arequipa (1.1M), Trujillo (1M), Chiclayo (800K), Piura (500K), Iquitos (470K — gateway to Peruvian Amazon), Cusco (430K — gateway to Machu Picchu). PET is identical in offset to Eastern Standard Time (EST) US, Cuban Standard Time (CST-Cu), Colombia Time (COT), and Ecuador Time (ECT) — easing North-to-South-American cross-time-zone coordination during US winter months. Affects: Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL) trading hours, Machu Picchu Inca Trail permit time-stamps, Cuzco-Aguas Calientes PeruRail train scheduling, and Inca Sun Festival Inti Raymi June 24 celebrations.
