Furthermore, a four-day holiday is expected in early November, spanning October 31 to November 3, for the Day of the Dead and the Independence of Cuenca.

In Argentina, the October 12 holiday will result in a three-day weekend from October 10 to 12, with travel planning recommended for destinations like Tandil and Chascomús.
