What to know when calling Colombia

  • Colombia restructured its area codes in 2022 — all geographic numbers are now 10 digits including a region prefix (Bogotá 601, Medellín 604, etc.), abolishing the old '+57 1 xxx xxxx' Bogotá pattern.
  • Mobile numbers start with 3 and are 10 digits including the 3.

Calling from Spain

From Spain (CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2). Canary Islands run one hour behind mainland Spain (WET/WEST).) the local business window is 10:00–14:00 and 17:00–20:00 in many regions — the siesta-shifted afternoon is real in Andalusia, Murcia and inland Spain. Madrid and Barcelona offices often run 9:00–18:00 with a one-hour lunch instead.. Most outbound callers reach a live answer most easily mid-morning local time, before lunch, and again in the late afternoon.

  • Long lunches (2 hours) remain normal outside Madrid/Barcelona; calling between 14:00–16:00 in cities like Seville or Granada is futile.
  • August is vacation month; nationwide business slows from 1–31 August and many SMBs close entirely the second and third weeks.
