Sunrise today lands at 06:20 and sunset at 06:12 local time, giving 11h 52m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-8.89, -78.36) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Las Cruces.
The zone identifier America/Lima is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Lima keeps pointing at Lima time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
