Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in San Francisco is 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Lima.
8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in San Francisco is when Lima is also working, at 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM their time. Scheduling is forgiving here: with 8 hours of overlap, a missed slot just means picking another one the same day. Just remember San Francisco changes its clocks for daylight saving and Lima doesn't, so confirm the overlap whenever the seasons turn.
