Short answer:in Colombia a business day is Monday to Friday, excluding national holidays. In 2026 there are19 holidays, including the new Virgin of Chiquinquirá holiday (July 9, moved to Monday under the Emiliani Law, per Law 2578 of 2026). This calculator counts the business days between two dates or adds business days to a date, with the holidays of any year.
