Current Time in Peru
Live clocks for every Peru city — UTC offsets, DST status, and inter-city time gaps.
Peru's Timezone System Explained
Peru uses Peru Time (PET, UTC−5) year-round with no daylight saving time. Lima, Arequipa, Trujillo, Cusco, and all Peruvian cities operate on a fixed UTC−5 offset in all seasons.
The UTC−5 offset places Peru on the same time as US Eastern Standard Time (EST) during winter months, which simplifies scheduling with the US East Coast. Colombia also shares the UTC−5 offset.
Key time differences from Lima (PET): New York (EST) is the same in winter, 1 hour ahead during EDT. Los Angeles (PST) is 3 hours behind. London (GMT) is 5 hours ahead. São Paulo (BRT) is 2 hours ahead. Bogotá (COT) shares the same time.
