Other dates worth booking
Peru's Independence Day is marked over two days (July 28-29), the first for the 1821 declaration itself and the second, Great Military Parade Day, dedicated to the armed forces and police - one of the few countries to split its independence celebration this specifically by theme rather than marking a single combined day.
