Argentina and Peru Update Holiday Calendars, Creating June Long Weekends

Governments used legal rules to shift some dates so citizens get extra long weekends that can boost short‑stay tourism.

Overview

  • Argentina confirmed in late May that the movable holiday for Paso a la Inmortalidad del Gral. Martín Miguel de Güemes will be observed on Monday 15 June 2026, producing a three‑day weekend from Saturday 13 to Monday 15.
  • The national Día de la Bandera for Gral. Manuel Belgrano remains inamovible on Saturday 20 June 2026 and will not be shifted to create additional time off.
  • Peru’s national calendar lists Sunday 7 June 2026 as Batalla de Arica and Día de la Bandera, and the central government published a registry of 13 regional holidays for 2026.
  • Regional authorities declared 26 May 2026 as a local day off in Moquegua and Tacna, with Ilo (Moquegua) given a compensable non‑working day and Tacna granting a remunerated, non‑recoverable holiday.
  • Labor rules differ by country and by type of holiday: Argentine law requires extra pay for work on national feriados, Peru distinguishes between compensable public‑sector days and remunerated regional holidays with higher pay when workers agree to work.
