What the numbers say
In 2026, Chile has 16 nationwide public holidays and Peru has 17, so Peru gets 1 more day off. They line up on 7 dates, including Año Nuevo, Viernes Santo, Día del Trabajo and San Pedro y San Pablo.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Chile has 10 on working days (6 fall on a weekend), against 13 for Peru (4 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); Peru offers 4 and 7. Peru has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is April in Chile and April in Peru.
