The last holiday for Holy Week has led Latin Americans to look for the dates of the next holidays of the year.

Whether due to history, tradition or religion, Latin American calendars have a minimum of nine and a maximum of 19 national holidays that are not worked on, according to the Public Holidays Global portal.

Argentina is the Latin American country with the most holidays per year, while Nicaragua is the one with the fewest.
