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 Pacific Standard Time (PST)

Pacific Standard Time (PST, IANA: America/Los_Angeles) is the standard time zone for the US West Coast and Canadian westernmost provinces, set at UTC-8:00. PST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March per the Uniform Time Act of 1966; the region switches to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC-7:00) the rest of the year. PST is used by ~50 million people in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada (most), British Columbia, Yukon Territory, and the Mexican states of Baja California Norte. Major cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Vancouver BC. PST is the time zone of US tech hubs (Silicon Valley, Seattle, Vancouver) — global software-release coordination, Big-Tech corporate-earnings calls, Hollywood production schedules, and NYSE/Nasdaq market hours (PST 06:30-13:00) all reference PST/PDT. Mexico abolished DST nationwide in 2022 except for border zones, complicating Baja conversions.
