Ecuador records 11 holidays in 2025. 11 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Not one public holiday lands on a weekend in 2025 — every single one falls on a working day. Carnaval (4 Mar 2025) and Día de Navidad (25 Dec 2025) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Mar, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 80 days, between 23 May 2025 and 11 Aug 2025. The last was Día de Navidad on 25 Dec 2025.
