What the numbers say
In 2026, Brazil has 12 nationwide public holidays and Colombia has 19, so Colombia gets 7 more days off. They line up on 6 dates, including Confraternização Universal, Sexta-feira Santa, Dia do Trabalhador and Nossa Senhora Aparecida.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Brazil has 10 on working days (2 fall on a weekend), against 19 for Colombia (0 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Brazil offers 7 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Colombia offers 16 and 3. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is April in Brazil and June in Colombia.
