What the numbers say
In 2026, Brazil has 12 nationwide public holidays and Peru has 17, so Peru gets 5 more days off. They line up on 5 dates, including Confraternização Universal, Sexta-feira Santa, Domingo de Páscoa and Dia do Trabalhador.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Brazil has 10 on working days (2 fall on a weekend), against 13 for Peru (4 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Brazil offers 7 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Peru offers 4 and 7. Peru has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is April in Brazil and April in Peru.
