If a plane takes off from see level and wants to land at Lima, the pilot can set the pressurization in the cabin to match landing alt...at such extreme alts like Lima, masks might drop if the the cabin sees an altitude of higher then 10,000 ft - 12500 ft...in that case, the pilot can switch off the 'mask drop' when landing at Lima so that doesn't happen...
