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 Standard Time (EST)
Eastern Standard Time (EST, IANA: America/New_York, America/Toronto) is the time zone for the US Eastern Seaboard and Canadian eastern provinces, set at UTC-5:00. EST is the most economically and politically significant US time zone, serving the NYC-Washington DC-Boston-Atlanta-Miami corridor of ~150 million people across the entire US Eastern region (New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida except panhandle, Ohio, Kentucky eastern, Tennessee eastern, Indiana most, Michigan most), eastern Canada (Quebec, Ontario), and the Caribbean (Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Panama since 1908). EST observes DST per Energy Policy Act 2005 (switching to EDT = UTC-4:00 from March to November). NYSE official market hours 09:30-16:00 EST/EDT, Wall Street financial reporting, US Federal Government Washington DC working hours, and US Capitol legislative sessions all reference EST/EDT. The historical 'Big Three' US TV-network prime-time was 8-11 PM EST.
