What the numbers say
In 2026, Guyana has 11 nationwide public holidays and Brazil has 12, so Brazil gets 1 more day off. They line up on 4 dates, including New Year's Day, Good Friday, Labour Day and Christmas Day.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Guyana has 9 on working days (2 fall on a weekend), against 10 for Brazil (2 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Guyana offers 6 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Brazil offers 7 and 3. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is May in Guyana and April in Brazil.
