Block time for Miami → Lima is about 5.63 hours non-stop on the site's cruise model. One connection is the realistic worst case for most calendars: expect the total to land near 8.6 hours with a single well-chosen hub, and near 12.6 hours with two.
UTC−5 applies at both ends, so jet lag on this pair is purely a function of the 5.63 hours in transit.

If fares into LIM spike, the airports tabulated below are the first places to check; each row shows the distance back to Lima and the flight time from Miami. From MIA, reaching CUZ instead takes about 1.3 h — less airborne time than the 5.63 h non-stop, and the surface leg into Lima still has to be won back.
Where a matching calculator page exists (MIA → CUZ among them) the links are in the Related list below. Remember the destination is the point: any airport below that adds more than a couple of hours of surface time to reach Lima needs a substantial fare gap to justify.
Arrival clock and ground costs
Leave Miami at 10:00 and the local arrival clock in Lima reads about 15:38, which tells you whether day one is recoverable. Budget the ground side too: a standard day runs $91 in Lima versus $279 in Miami (hotel, three meals, two transit rides), so the arrival city sets the trip's marginal cost.
On those numbers Lima is the cheaper place to linger — the gap is $188 per day, which over a week funds a second flight. Zero clock change means the 15:38 arrival clock is pure flying time — what you see is what you flew.
