Arequipa is a city in Peru, with a population of about 1,195,700. It uses the Peru Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Lima).
Arequipa does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC−5 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Lima.
Because Arequipa lies at 16.40° S, 71.54° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 11 h 09 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 13 h 07 min.
