Season coefficients are calibrated per city, not shared. Across Colombia the peak-to-low swing runs 29%–29%, widest in Bogotá (29%, highland eternal-spring pattern: low May, Sep–Oct at ×0.90, peak Jun–Aug, Dec at ×1.16). Altitude flattens the weather, so pricing follows holidays rather than climate. The swing is narrow, which makes the destination unusually predictable to budget.
