Why people convert Lima to Brazil time

Scheduling a call from Lima to Brazil: a 10:00 AM start in Lima lands at 12:00 PM in Brazil, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Lima and Brazil are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM PET time (11:00 AM–5:00 PM BRT). That is roughly 6 hours of usable overlap.
