Overview
- Cusco observed a non-working day for Inti Raymi on June 24 under Decreto Ley N° 21860, a law that local media say applies to public and private workers in the city.
- Several Amazonian regions including Loreto, Ucayali, San Martín, Huánuco and Madre de Dios declared or evaluated June 24 as a día no laborable for San Juan that covers public employees and may be adopted by private employers by agreement.
- Argentina’s calendar pairs the inamovible Independence Day on July 9 with a government-declared tourism day on July 10 (Resolution 164/2025), producing a four-day weekend for many but leaving private employers free to require work on the tourism day.
- Legal and practical rules differ sharply: in Peru a national feriado triggers extra pay or compensatory rest while días no laborables usually require recovery of hours and mainly target the public sector, and in Argentina working on a national feriado pays double while work on a tourism day pays normal wages.
- The patchwork of local asuetos, regional ordinances and national tourism days is driving staggered business closures, bank branch rules and travel demand, and will feed into July’s extended breaks in both countries that employers and travelers should plan around.
