Frequently Asked Questions
How many long weekends are there in Peru in 2026?
There are 10 long-weekend periods in Peru in 2026. The longest lasts 5 days on 25-29 July 2026, covering Non-working day (public sector) and Independence Day (Fiestas Patrias).
What is the official source for the 2026 Peru holiday calendar?
The official source is Peru Feriados Nacionales 2026 (DL 713 and later laws) and días no laborables decrees (The sixteen national feriados plus the government-decreed non-working days for the public sector (2 January per DS 042-2025-PCM; 27 July per DS 075-2026-PCM). Non-working days are mandatory for the public sector with recoverable hours; private employers adopt them by agreement).
What is a 'día no laborable' in Peru?
A non-working day decreed by the government for public-sector employees, whose hours must be recovered later — unlike a feriado, which is a paid holiday. Private employers may adopt it by agreement. For 2026, the decreed days are Friday 2 January and Monday 27 July, the latter creating a five-day Fiestas Patrias stretch (25–29 July).
Does Peru move holidays that fall on a weekend?
No. Peruvian feriados stay on their fixed dates. In 2026, the Battle of Arica Day (7 June), Santa Rosa de Lima (30 August), and All Saints' Day (1 November) fall on Sundays without substitute days; the government instead declares strategic non-working days to create long weekends.
