Peru Clarifies Late‑November and December Breaks: Mariscal Nieto Off Nov. 25, National Long Weekend Dec. 6–9

The update distinguishes a Moquegua‑only civic day from nationwide holidays set in law.

Overview

  • Authorities confirm Nov. 25, 2025 as a non‑working day only for the province of Mariscal Nieto in Moquegua under Supreme Decree No. 093‑85‑PCM in force since 1985.
  • Nov. 24, 2025 has not been declared a holiday or non‑working day, so work and services proceed as usual.
  • The next national long weekend runs from Saturday, Dec. 6 to Tuesday, Dec. 9, with Dec. 8 (Immaculate Conception) and Dec. 9 (Battle of Ayacucho) as nationwide holidays.
  • Public‑sector staff are entitled to the December holiday rest, while private‑sector schedules depend on employer agreements or compensation for work on those days.
  • Peru’s national holiday list is governed by Legislative Decree No. 713; November featured only one nationwide holiday, with December concentrating the remaining official breaks.
