Long Weekends & Bridge Days in Colombia 2027

Colombia 2027: 14 long weekend opportunities

In Colombia in 2027, there are 13 long weekends that occur naturally — no annual leave needed — plus 1 bridge day opportunity where a single day off creates an extended break. In total, across all 14 long weekends, you can gain 44 consecutive days off. The 1 bridge opportunity requires just 1 day of annual leave.

What is a bridge day?

A bridge day is a single working day that sits between a public holiday and a weekend, turning a short break into a 4 or 5-day stretch. Known as Brückentag in German, ponte in Italian, pont in French, and puente in Spanish, the concept is the same worldwide: taking one strategic day of leave multiplies your time off far beyond what the same day used independently would give you.

How to plan your leave around Colombia holidays

The most effective leave strategy is to target the bridge day opportunities listed above rather than booking leave during peak periods. With just 1 day of annual leave spread across the right date in 2027, you can extend Colombia's public holidays into 1 additional long break.
