Peru Sets May 1 Long Weekend as Buenos Aires Towns Declare April Days Off

The changes shape work schedules and travel plans by defining who qualifies for time off.

Overview

  • Peru’s Labor Day on May 1, 2026 is a national holiday under Decree 713, creating a three‑day break through May 3 for many workers.
  • Public employees are covered nationwide in Peru, and private‑sector time off depends on agreements each employer makes with staff.
  • In Argentina, Médanos in Villarino and Iriarte in General Pinto designated April 13, 2026 as a local non‑working day for their founding anniversaries.
  • Local authorities also set April 15, 2026 as a non‑working day for Esteban Agustín Gascón and Arroyo Corto in Buenos Aires province tied to their anniversaries.
  • These Argentine observances apply to municipal workers, Bank Provincia branches or local schools as specified, and they do not alter the national holiday list; Peru’s long weekend is expected to lift short‑haul tourism.
