Overview
- Argentina’s next national holiday is Monday, August 17, the Paso a la Inmortalidad del General José de San Martín, creating a three‑day long weekend that national outlets list alongside the remaining 2026 feriados.
- Several Argentine outlets note the government recently declared ad hoc non‑working days for tourism and many Buenos Aires municipalities set local patronal or founding‑day days in mid‑July that create local long weekends.
- Peru’s Congress approved Law No. 31822 making July 23 a national paid holiday for the Día de la Fuerza Aérea del Perú so workers in both public and private sectors will have a paid day off unless they are required to work by employers.
- The Peruvian government issued Supreme Decree No. 075‑2026‑PCM declaring Monday, July 27 a compensable non‑working day for public‑sector employees, with private‑sector observance subject to employer‑worker agreement and required recovery of hours.
- Peruvian labor rules require triple pay when employees work on a national holiday without a substitute rest day and Argentine law (Ley 27.399) defines which trasladable feriados can be moved to form long weekends, a mechanism governments use to steer tourism and public schedules.
