I have found 4 airlines so far that are reporting that there is no test requirement to enter Colombia: Spirit, Copa, Jet Blue and Avianca. American Airlines is redirecting some website called "Sherpa" and it still has the test requirement on there.

Keep your eye on the Hospital rates of ICU patients because written into the resolution it says.
"According to the document, the measures will begin to work once the cities of the country manage to reduce the occupancy of Intensive Care Units below 85%. ".

Posts: 2079Complete opening of Medellin starting June 8th
Mayor announced that city will be opening fully with no restrictions or curfews from June 8th. I have visited Medellin almost every month since they opened international flights but limited night life, especially on the weekends was a bit boring. This is good news for many of us.

Posts: 1256Resolution 777 about elimination of test requirement to enter Colombia
So word is out there that there will be a change that states that there will no longer be a test requirement to enter Colombia as the articles below state. This information has not yet been posted to the Embassy website, it is still saying that a test is needed but hopefully that will change soon. Their is a catch to this also but I cannot tell what it says for sure because I am translating from Spanish. It says that the measures are dependent on hospital ICUs being below 85% but I am not sure this part apples to the lifting of the travel requirement. The fact that it is retroactive to June 1st makes it sound like it is not dependent on any other factors.

"According to the document, the measures will begin to work once the cities of the country manage to reduce the occupancy of Intensive Care Units below 85%.
Once this happens, cities will have a capacity opening for public shows and sporting events. Likewise, the reactivation and presence in education will be taken into account, since, according to Minister Ruiz.
Regarding international flights, the Coronapp application will be eliminated, so it will not be necessary to have it to enter the country and the negative PCR test is also suspended as a requirement to enter national territory, both for nationals and foreigners as of 1 of June. ".
I also do not know if this is the final word or if this has to be further approved by other government entities.

I understand people need to vent and I reposted your post over in "Stupid Shit in Bogota" because that is what those threads are for. I am deleting your post as well as a couple of other posts in my blog because I try to keep only the most updated info on policies on that blog, I have posted this periodically in my blog because there is no where to actually post guidelines of the blog, No disrespect intended, hope you have better trips in the future.

Posts: 537USA Embassy as of Wed, Apr 7 at 4:45 PM
The USA Embassy continues to monitor the rapidly changing conditions due to COVID-19 in Colombia and in other locations worldwide. The most current information regarding the impact of COVID-19 may be found at our COVID Information Page.
New Bogota Public Health Restrictions.
Citing a third wave of COVID-19 infections in the capital, the Mayor of Bogota has announced additional public health measures for the upcoming weekend.
From Saturday, April 10 at 12:01 AM through Tuesday, April 13 at 4:00 AM, the city of Bogota is subject to quarantine.
People and cars are restricted from movement.
All businesses will be closed except grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants without dine-in service. One person per family may leave their homes for these businesses subject to pico why cédula requirements.
You are allowed one hour daily for exercise outside of your home.
Some limited exceptions to these movement restrictions apply for employees in certain sectors.
For more information, consult the mayoral decree here. These measures supplement those announced by the national government earlier this week, further described below. Stay alert for potential announcements of future restrictions.
Nationwide Restrictions from April 6 to 19.
All of Colombia remains under public health restrictions announced this week:
Cities with ICU occupancies over 50% have a nightly curfew with varying hours:
85% (including Medellin, Santa Marta, and Cali): 6:00 pm to 5:00 am.
80% to 84% (including Barranquilla): 8:00 pm to 5:00 am.
70% to 79% (including Manizales): 10:00 pm to 5:00 am.
50% to 69% (including Bogota): midnight to 5:00 am.
Pico why cédula – which limits entry into businesses by the customer's ID number – is in effect for cities with ICU occupancy above 50%.
Consult local media for information on your city's specific, potentially more restrictive measures. Refer to local sources for pico why cédula requirements, which vary across jurisdictions.
COVID-19 Testing Requirements.
The Ministry of Health has announced that, until further notice, all inbound international passengers must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result, with some limited exceptions.
