So I have had the single dose J&J and no boosters of any kind.

Do I still need the Negative PCR to enter?

I live in Barranquilla about half my time and have been searching all over for the answer to this so I don't show up for my flight tomorrow morning and get denied.

Thanks for any help guys.

May I say Merry Christmas and an incredible New Year to come for all..

The way I understand it you just need to complete the recommended dosing schedule for your vaccine. You shouldn't need a booster or a PCR test.

I told my chicks that I expect them to be taking me on a trip with this raise they are getting.

Recientemente el presidente Ivn Duque anunci el incremento del 10.7 % en el salario mnimo que regir en 2022. De tal forma que los trabajadores que devengan este monto recibirn un milln de pesos (252 dlares) ms el auxilio de transporte, es decir, un total de 1.117.000 pesos (cerca de 282 dlares).

Not sure how far you're going to travel on 102.000 COP split 2 ways.

If your shot was more than 14 days ago, you don't need the PCR test, just your vaccination card showing the J&J vaccine.

As of December 14,2021, visitors to Colombia ages 18 or older will need to provide proof of complete vaccination for entry. If your final COVID vaccine was less than 14 days before entry to Colombia you will also need to have a PCR test 72 hours prior to arrival in Colombia. Visitors ages 18 or older who have not had any vaccine will not be eligible for entry to Colombia.

Unvaccinated Colombian residents are permitted to enter with a negative test. Tourists are not! Huge change in attitude compared to their former unvaccinated, no-testing policy. The only fully-green countries for North Americans now are Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Dominican Republic -- no medical requirements.

If a country make cannabis legal, and maybe some other pills like Tradamdol, etc.

And the criminal gangs loose their income, what happens?

I suggest; Liberalization creates even more dangerous criminal gangs; out of business they re-invent themselves as kidnappers, extortion, attacking sensitive businesses vital to the function of the society.

This while in drogwars, Gang A kills Gang be members only and vice versa.

Is it the best option to just accept that we can't get a better society, this is "As Good As It get's."

Are there any empirical, historical studies on this?

If the limit, imagined by both Police and criminals, that the battle we are fighting is about drogmoney, there might be a red lline to cross.

In comparison drug-related criminality are relatively "mild" compared with assassinations of politcal or business competitors, or vendettas.

Your theory would be "be nice with the narcos because they can be nastier". Drug cartel can actually not be more nefarious. Kidnapping, extortion corruption, mass murders already happen despite their juicy business.

Its grey, cool and wet for much of the year in Medellin. Some call it the city of eternal spring. I call it the city of eternal winter.

The Caribbean coast has a much drier climate. It hardly rains for most of the year, but it does have a rainy season (when I caught dengue fever) from May-June. Also apparently CTG can be wet in Oct-Nov.

Back in the days many report said very negative things about Medellin. Simply to hold off competitors to fly in and ruin the game.

This post comes in a time when Medellin is widely accepted as a superb destination for a longer holiday with or without "prepagos", or retirement location.

Medellin practically always have good weather, I have never experienced bad. It sometimes rain a lot, but not for days and days, like in in Asia with the Monsun.

Practically all days are good, very good.

Winter? Medellin has 21-22 Celsius in medium, range is like 15-33 Celcius, very very stable.

Somehow a funny report. The guys, back in the days; Medellin is under siege from criminal gangs, etc etc, calling a splendid summer a winter does not do the trick to keep away competitors for Luxury _Pocahontas_Pussy.

This is what Medellin iss best known for and is also real; Pocahontas Babes are everywhere and they love gringos! Literarlly!

Now I don't want to be disturbed anymore by Plebejians, I'm listening to Harmonielehre (John adams).

I'm thinking the grey, cool, and wet would be Bogota. I've been in Medellin when it rained, but I never have been there when I would call it cool.

But Bogota is such that you want a jacket in the evening at least virtually all year long. And an umbrella handy.

Hey guys,

I was just curious, can anyone confirm if the weather forecast is correct? Because it is saying that it is raining every single day up to next weekend. That doesn't seem right. Says its raining for Medellin, Bogota and Cartagena. No way, can't be true.

Can someone confirm this for me? I heard the weather is amazing right now from a friend whose out there but he's at Pereira.

So can someone whose in Colombia confirm whether this is true or not?

I'm not going to Colombia now, but I'm definitely a little worried if it keeps raining. I'm going the first 2 weeks of January and I need good weather to really enjoy my first trip to Colombia.

Weatherman? Jaja no need for a weatherman because it can rain at any minute, You'll see lots of Bogotanas carrying an umbrella on a sunny day. I have been out early in the morning on a warm sunny day and go to the mall in a short sleeve shirt and when I exit the mall it's freezing cold and raining like a the end of the world. Just the other day my Novia was telling me it was hailing in Bogota. My advice, be ready for anything.

Hi. Can you share the contact? When I have left CTG the past few times this year, the testers were super slow getting results back.

Blue building.

160 K for the Antigen, call and they will come to you or you can go to the location and set up the appointment. I Usually do it with them when I stay in Centro.

Here is another where you can walk in and get the test. This is by the large Exito close to the clock tower.

[PerkinWarbeck]

Are you departing from CTG?

I have a contact in CTG that can get you the Antigen for 160 K. They come directly to your location and you get the results in 1 hour.

Having lived in Bogota and had many trips there, the best way to describe the weather there is schizophrenic with the rain. Prepare for most days there to have at least showers, especially in the afternoon. Also important to remember that Bogota is much further up in elevation and is distinctly cooler than MDE and CTG. Prepare accordingly.

Bogota is the one city in the world I've ever lived in where I never paid much attention to the forecast because there was just no point other than 50/60's with showers / rain.

+ 100. That is the perfect description of Bogota weather.
