What the numbers say
In 2026, Argentina has 16 nationwide public holidays and Chile has 16 — exactly the same number. They line up on 6 dates, including Año Nuevo, Viernes Santo, Día del Trabajador and Día del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Argentina has 15 on working days (1 fall on a weekend), against 10 for Chile (6 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Argentina offers 9 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 6 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Chile offers 6 and 4. Argentina has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is February in Argentina and April in Chile.
