Calling Peru from United States: what to know

Peru answers on the country code +51, with the capital in Lima and most business concentrated around Lima, Arequipa and Cusco. The working language for business is Spanish, Quechua, Aymara, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:00 to 18:00. Lima is one hour behind New York in winter and two hours behind in summer (US DST), without observing DST itself.

From United States the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +51 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United States and Peru.

Most mobiles in Peru sit on operators such as Movistar Perú, Claro Perú, Entel Perú. Peruvian mobiles are 9 digits starting with 9; landlines vary in length by city.

Peru runs on UTC minus 5, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
