Public Holidays 2027 in the Iguazu Triple Frontier (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay)

The three countries' calendar and the long weekends that fill Foz do Iguaçu, Puerto Iguazú and Ciudad del Este

In 2027, Brazil has 14 national holidays, Argentina 16 and Paraguay 12. See the full calendar for all three countries and the long weekends that pack the bridges and the Falls.

Direct answer: In 2027, Brazil has 14 national holidays, Argentina 16 and Paraguay 12. The ones that fill the Iguazu Triple Frontier most are Carnival (February 8 and 9), Holy Week (Good Friday on March 26) and year-end. A holiday in any of the three countries already packs the bridges and the attractions.

Plan your trip to Foz do Iguaçu, Puerto Iguazú and Ciudad del Este knowing when each country stops. A holiday on just one side already fills the bridge, the Falls and the shops, because the neighbors cross the border.

The long weekends that fill the border in 2027

Carnival, February 8 and 9 (Monday and Tuesday): Brazil and Argentina stop together, a Saturday-to-Tuesday break. Bridges and Falls packed.

Corpus Christi, May 27 (Thursday, Brazil): usually becomes a long weekend with the Friday.
July 9 (Friday, Argentina): Argentine Independence during the winter break; many Argentines cross to Foz.
October 11 and 12: Argentina (the 11th) and Brazil (the 12th) almost together, a long weekend on both sides.
