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.
About Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, IANA: America/New_York during DST window) is the summer-time variant of EST, set at UTC-4:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the US Energy Policy Act of 2005. EDT shares the same UTC offset as Atlantic Standard Time (AST — observed year-round in Canadian Maritimes Nova Scotia/New Brunswick/PEI and in Caribbean Puerto Rico/USVI/Bermuda) and as Bolivia/Chile/Paraguay Standard Time. The 'spring forward' transition at 02:00 EDT in March is the largest single coordinated time change in human history, affecting ~150 million US East Coast residents simultaneously per US Census. Florida passed the Sunshine Protection Act in 2018 attempting to stay on EDT year-round, but it required US Congressional approval (US Code 15 §260a) which has not been granted as of 2024. EDT affects: US Federal Government tax-filing deadlines (IRS Form 1040 due 23:59 EDT on April 15), NFL Sunday Night Football scheduling, and US Supreme Court oral-argument schedules in DC.
