Best time for work calls

If you are scheduling a call between San José and São Paulo, the overlap window is limited to typical business hours. When it is 9 am in San José it is 12 pm in São Paulo — a workable window for scheduling. The latest reasonable overlap is around 2 pm in San José (5 pm in São Paulo). Outside this window there is effectively no good overlap for regular office hours.

Best time for family calls

Scheduling a family call between San José and São Paulo takes a little planning. San José is 3 hours behind São Paulo, which means there's no window that feels comfortable for everyone at the same time. The most manageable option is early evening in San José — around 7 pm — which puts São Paulo at 10 pm. Someone will need to stretch a little, but at least no one's setting a middle-of-the-night alarm. Weekends tend to give the most flexibility if you can agree on a time in advance.
