How long-weekend holidays work in Colombia

In Colombia, several holidays move to Monday under Ley Emiliani, making planning for travel and operations more predictable.

That is why you may see both a traditional date and an observed Monday date. We show both clearly to avoid confusion.

Use long-weekend, work-calendar, and Holy Week pages to plan staffing, travel, and academic schedules ahead of time.
