  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The ideal time for calls is 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Peruvians value personal trust and long-term relationships. Traffic in Lima is notoriously bad, so virtual meetings are often preferred. Business is professional but includes a warm, personal element.

  • Culture Values networking and personal relationships. The work day often ends later than in Northern Europe.
  • Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM.
