Finca weekends
Many families have a finca (country house). Weekends mean driving out of the city to swim, eat sancocho (stew), play music, and relax. If you're invited, go — it's the best of Colombia.
☀️ Weekend culture in Colombia
Weekends in Colombia have their own rhythm. Markets, day trips, sport, religion or rest — what people in Colombia actually do on their days off says a lot about the culture.
In Colombia, weekend culture comes down to a few things: finca weekends, rumba (partying), and sunday ciclovía.
Rumba (partying)
Colombian nightlife starts late (11pm) and goes until dawn. Salsa, reggaeton, vallenato depending on the city. Cali for salsa, Bogotá for variety, Cartagena for champeta.
Sunday ciclovía
Major city streets close to cars for cyclists, runners, walkers, and dog-walkers every Sunday morning. Bogotá's is the world's largest — 120km of car-free road. Totally free, totally loved.
