About the time in Peru
Sunrise today lands at 06:46 and sunset at 08:07 local time, giving 13h 21m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (37.09, -96.09) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Peru.
Around 139 people live in Peru, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Peru day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
