What the numbers say
In 2026, Venezuela has 12 nationwide public holidays and Colombia has 19, so Colombia gets 7 more days off. They line up on 4 dates, including Día de Año Nuevo, Día del Trabajador, Día de la Resistencia Indígena and Navidad.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Venezuela has 10 on working days (2 fall on a weekend), against 19 for Colombia (0 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Venezuela offers 5 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 4 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Colombia offers 16 and 3. Venezuela has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is December in Venezuela and June in Colombia.
