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