Argentina and Peru Set December Holiday Blocks, With Local Add-Ons Creating Extra Days Off

Officials clarified who is off, with pay rules for those who work on the holidays.

Overview

  • Argentina’s December schedule confirms inamovible holidays on Monday, Dec. 8 (Inmaculada Concepción), creating a three‑day weekend from Dec. 6–8, and on Thursday, Dec. 25 (Christmas).
  • Several Buenos Aires province towns added local breaks: Blaquier and Juan Antonio Pradere declared Friday, Dec. 5 non‑working; Triunvirato (Lincoln) set an administrative asueto for Tuesday, Dec. 9; La Niña (Nueve de Julio) marks a local holiday on Friday, Dec. 12.
  • Peru’s national holidays on Monday, Dec. 8 and Tuesday, Dec. 9 produce a four‑day block from Saturday through Tuesday; Christmas on Thursday, Dec. 25 is a feriado, and Friday, Dec. 26 is a public‑sector non‑working day.
  • Peru’s education authorities confirmed a nationwide suspension of classes from Saturday, Dec. 6 through Tuesday, Dec. 9, with a return to regular schedules on Wednesday.
