Colombians and vacation: quite a story<\/h2>\n
\n

As soon as even one extra day is tacked on to a weekend (a long weekend is called puente<\/em> here), at once, entire families go out of town in a packed car on their way to relatives, a hotel or a finca.<\/p>\n

And by family, I don’t just mean parents and siblings, but often uncles, aunts and cousins go with them too. The more souls, the more joy. Not only does this result in interminable traffic jams out of the city, but also at the end of a puente<\/em> it can take two hours longer to get back into town. I speak from experience.<\/p>\n

Many towns and popular villages are flooding with vacationing Colombian families. Very cozy of course, but unexpected crowds can be tricky at times if you, as a backpacker, find all the ho(s)tels full upon arrival.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
