Frequently asked questions about holiday weekends
What is a puente festivo (holiday weekend) in Colombia?
It is a long weekend: under the Emiliani Law many public holidays move to Monday, so together with Saturday and Sunday you get three days off in a row. Here we also count holidays that fall on a Friday, and Holy Week from Thursday to Sunday.
How are these dates worked out?
With Colombia's official public holiday calendar (Law 51 of 1983): fixed holidays, the ones moved to Monday and the ones that depend on Easter. If a holiday falls midweek without touching the weekend, it does not make a long weekend and is listed separately.
Do I need to book ahead for a holiday weekend?
On holiday weekends and in high season there are usually more visitors at the reservoir, so it is best to book early. For each holiday weekend you can see which tours have published availability for those dates; if a tour has not published its calendar, ask us in the chat.
Do prices change on holidays?
Some providers publish a different price for holidays or high season. The price for each day appears on the tour when you choose the date, before you pay.
What is traffic like from Bucaramanga to Betulia on a holiday weekend?
On holiday weekends traffic on Santander's roads usually increases, especially on the morning of the first day and the afternoon of the last. Check the guide to getting there and leave with plenty of time.
