After your arrival at the Columbian International Airport we can arrange for you to be collected in an air-conditioned van or car. (This must be booked in advance)
On the journey you will pass by the heart of the Columbian capital and you will get a good impression of the turbulent and colourful goings-on of this large city.
You will drive past lively towns, beautiful nature and with a little luck you will see the famous “Spear Fishermen” near to the city of Galle.
Once you have passed the towns of Galle and Matara you will have arrived at your holiday destination where relaxation and recuperation is waiting for you.
The best time to travel here is from the end of November to the middle of April. Into January, heavy rainfall and storms in the late afternoon, evenings and during the night are to be expected.
Due to the North facing sun the temperatures in the months following rise by 10°c to 12°c with a peak at the beginning of April. From this time the frequency and severity of rainfall increases until the middle of April when the monsoon season has fully arrived. Monsoons on the south coast are not as severe as in the more northerly regions and only last around four weeks. Until the middle of May showers on the coast during the day and in the southern hills up land are to be expected. These do not last very long though.
In between the monsoon seasons, from July to October the weather on the coast is fairly reasonable. It rains and is stormy quite often but mainly late afternoon and in the night. The rain also helps to cool the air again so the temperatures are a more pleasant 24°c to 28°c. This season is, therefore a pleasant time to travel throughout.
From the middle of October to the middle of November the south-west monsoon occurs again but it is not as severe as in April/May.
Practically the whole year round on the south coast can be recommended as the rain showers, even in the monsoon season, although heavy only last a short time and mostly occur only late afternoon or in the night.
