Public Holidays in Peru — 2028
There are 14 public holidays in Peru in 2028 — a middle-of-the-road calendar by international standards.
4 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 10 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 7 before July and 7 after it — with April the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 103 days, from Saturday, January 1, 2028 to Thursday, April 13, 2028; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
5 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 1 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Peru sits in South America, is run from Lima, pays in Sol, and has about 33M people planning around these same dates.
