Lima is about 3 hours ahead of Los Angeles on standard time (America/Los_Angeles vs America/Lima). Arrival clocks on LIM are local. That matters more on this pair than on a same-zone hop.
Most Los Angeles–Lima journeys connect rather than fly nonstop from LAX. Timed one-stop itineraries often bank at Miami International (MIA), George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL). That is a pattern, not a promise for your dates. On results, sort by fastest if you care about layover pain, or cheapest if you do not.
