About the time in San Juan
San Juan follows the civil time used across its region of Peru; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:07 and sunset at 05:51 local time, giving 11h 44m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-14.65, -74.19) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Juan.
Clocks in San Juan stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Peru.
