In early November 2026, Peru announced several non-working days across various regions. Following Supreme Decree No. 020-2026-TR, extraordinary rest periods were established due to the visit of Pope Leo XIV. This includes partial non-working hours in Lima and Callao on November 11 and 12, and a full non-working day on November 16 for those regions. Other areas, such as Cajamarca, La Libertad, Lambayeque, and Piura, were designated with full non-working days on November 13 and 14, while Cusco and Ucayali saw a non-working day for the private sector on November 15.

Additionally, a specific non-working day was designated for the Ayacucho region on November 6 to commemorate the Day of Ayacuchan Folk Song. This holiday applies to public sector workers in Ayacucho, while for the private sector, the day off remains at the discretion of employers.

Regarding the papal visit, the government clarified that these dates are classified as non-working days rather than holidays. Consequently, employees in both the public and private sectors must compensate for missed hours. For the public sector, hours must be recovered within the following 10 days. The decree was signed by President Keiko Fujimori, Prime Minister Luis Galarreta, and Labor Minister Juan Sheput, citing the spiritual and historical significance of the pontiff's visit.
