Overview
- Argentina’s official 2026 calendar combined the inamovable Independence Day on Thursday 9 July with a government-declared “non-working day for tourism” on Friday 10 July to create a confirmed four-day break from Thursday 9 to Sunday 12 July.
- The tourism days were set under Resolución 164/2025, which allows the executive to declare up to three non-working tourism days per year and was used in 2026 for 23 March, 10 July and 7 December.
- Peru’s government lists Monday 29 June as a national holiday for San Pedro y San Pablo and, under Decreto Legislativo N.° 713, workers who labor that day without receiving a compensatory rest must be paid the holiday pay plus pay for the work and a 100% surcharge.
- Local differences persist: 24 June is not a national holiday in Peru, and some Argentine municipalities (for example Berisso, Roque Pérez, Florencio Varela and Lima in Zárate) independently declared 24 June a local non-working day for municipal staff and institutions.
- The confirmed July long weekend concentrates demand for domestic tourism and short trips, while the Peruvian pay rule raises direct labor costs for employers who require staff to work on June 29 without offering compensatory rest.
