Why people convert Denver to Lima time

Scheduling a call from Denver to Lima: a 10:00 AM start in Denver lands at 11:00 AM in Lima, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Denver and Lima are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM MDT time (10:00 AM–5:00 PM PET). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Denver viewers need 10:00 AM in Lima to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 11:00 PM if the event is anchored to Denver.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM MDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +1h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–4:00 PM MDT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Denver and need Lima colleagues present.
