Posts: 7Cash Problems
Apologies if this is a read-the-fucking-thread thing, but I'm having a problem here that I haven't had traveling elsewhere: no ATMs will give me money. I put the card in, it asks me if I want to withdraw from savings or checking account (neither works), and then it says the transaction failed. I called JP Morgan Chase and they couldn't tell me anything. What gives? I had to get COP from one of those shitty currency exchanges using my cards.

Travelers wishing to enter Colombia must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test or a vaccination certificate starting on Dec. 14, Health Minister Fernando Ruiz announced on Tuesday.
Here is the part that is confusing:
If you have been vaccinated less than 14 days before, you must also submit the PCR test 72 hours in advance.
So this marks the eighth change in Colombian entrance policies in the last 15 months. You know now that the Duque administration and Colombia is truly an American ally because they have done the unthinkable: they have made the CDC look reasonable.

"El segundo grupo (extranjeros que no residen en Colombia sino que visitan el pais por turismo.) tiene que tener al menos una dosis de vacuna para poder entrar al pais tendran que tener una prueba PCR negativa 72 horas antes. ".
In a nutshell, they are saying that us foreigners must have a minimum of one dose of a vaccine AND a negative PCR Covid Test taken 72 hours before.
Am I interpreting it right that us foreigners ALSO need a negative PCR test to enter Colombia?

Health Minister Fernando Ruiz spoke out against canceling flights to prevent the arrival of the variant, this measure seeks to restrict the entry of unvaccinated from abroad. "The speed of the variants always exceeds the detection capacity. This is why border closures are so ineffective. Today the poorest countries tend to close for political reasons, not technical, "Ruiz had written through his Twitter account on December 2.
End of quote.
I agree with you that it is in vogue to do this, but I will tell you that Mexico will never require vaccination, and President Duque has said tourism will be Colombia's next oil. It is not farfetched in that Cancun generates $20 billion per year in tourism dollars, and Colombian oil varies but it is in the $10 billion a year area.
If you want tourists though, you do not make it harder on them. Hell, Mexico is way easier than Colombia and Cancun was fucking packed when I went a few weeks ago even after the murders in tourist areas.
I saw an Indian wedding at my Cancun hotel. There were a 100 people in probably 50 rooms dancing outside and spending huge cash on food, drinks, and entertainment. If just one person in the whole party was not vaccinated, they could not have that event in Colombia.
How much did the travel ban cost Colombia? At least they admitted it was pointless. Now the question is how much is this vaccination card bit going to cost them? This is not showing leadership but following the crowd and being stupidly PC.
If you want tourism, you get money and improve infrastructure. In Peru, Mexico, and Ecuador, I rented a car and drove the highways always averaging 60 miles in hour. Hell, Mexico in some parts has better roads than the USA has.
I drove halfway between Medellin and Bogota and averaged 25 MPH. Seriously. And not only that the roads were dangerous to boot. In Cartagena, Bocagrande has two points where you enter into the peninsula like area, and that road is seemingly always flooded and causes traffic jams on the way to the nicest part of the city.
In Mexico, they are building a railway connecting Tulum and Cancun and putting in an airport in Tulum. In Cartagena, they are shooing away the hookers from the clock tower. Which approach do you think is going to win?

One chica told me if they stop the girls from working CTG would loose a ton of tourist dollars and they will have no propose of building a bigger airport (the translator app must have translated wrong because I have no idea why CTG needs a second Airport).

Posts: 5430US Testing Requirements
For anyone confused about the more restrictive Covid testing requirements which began today, here's some help.
You're required to get tested within 1 day of your flight. If you are flying out at 10 pm on Wednesday, you have to be tested anytime Tuesday or Wednesday, before your flight. If your outbound flight is very early morning, the distinction doesn't matter much. However, if you fly late at night you have almost a 2 day window to meet the requirement.
Since there are plenty of labs giving results in less than 1 hour, this shouldn't be an issue.

Posts: 245Cali is the best city for regualr girls?
Hi,
I was in Cali and I got some good and bad experiences. I met only black girls. I like only regular girls, I don't like pros. Even if I would have liked to meet some white girls and stay with her for a week or more, I did not succeed because I am old and I had to pay a lot of the money compared to costs of Cali.
I didn't like all this very much.
If you know other Colombian cities well, could you tell me if Cali is the best Colombian city to meet regular girls and if Cali is the easiest city to meet them? Or are there some other cities better than Cali?
Thank you!
