Time in Lima, Peru

Time zone: -05 (UTC/GMT -05:00) — America/Lima

Lima runs on -05. That places it 5 hours behind UTC (UTC-05:00); in a calendar, server config or booking form, select America/Lima.

Lima does not change its clocks. The same UTC-05:00 offset holds in January and July, which makes it a stable anchor for recurring calls.

Current gap between Lima and cities people most often need to coordinate with. These figures already account for daylight saving where it applies.

Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Lima local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.

No shared working window exists with Dubai, Mumbai, Shanghai or Tokyo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

These Peru cities also use America/Lima, so their clocks read identically to Lima at every moment of the year.
