General Info

[Blingz]

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.

Straight from AA site:

Take notice that I entered a Dec 10 departure for Colombia.

According to the site Unvaccinated now cannot enter.

Also notice that it says Vaccinated do NOT require a PCR test.

The airport testing site is supposedly open 24/7. Also some of the home testing kits are acceptable if they are performed according to the directions, which requires a video call to the testing company so they can observe you performing the test.

I'm certain there are also testing locations in Medellin which are open on Sunday, but I didn't feel like spending another 2 minutes finding the information. I can see how spending a couple of minutes finding out easily accessible information can be completely exhausting. That damned Biden.

When you log in for an appointment you will see Sundays especially is limited hours. Also the best, most reliable site for info on entering Colombia can be found here:

Just click on the country that you need info on.

It appears they consider an incomplete vaccination the same as no vaccination. Also, it's up to the airlines to enforce the requirement, so it's possible to have different requirements with different airlines. I'll be checking the airline's website before my next trip to verify their requirement.

Biden's stupid one day requirement is the real hair in the ointment. He constantly promotes vaccinations, but makes no distinction between the vaccinated and unvaccinated when entering the US by air. I had made my reservation prior to his mandate and I return on a Monday. Not many options of getting the test on a Sunday.

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.

So the question is are they viewing a person with no doses the same as a person with not the full amount of doses? His statement does not distinguish. A person with no doses has incomplete doses, but a person with incomplete doses does not mean they have no doses. ... https://www.minsalud.gov.co/Paginas/...-Colombia.aspx

Appears that it is either. From the minister of health: Show a completed vaccination card in which you have taken the final dose at least 14 days before the flight. If you have not gotten the completed vaccine doses before 14 days then you have to show a negative PCR test from a maximum of 72 hours before the flight. It does not say anything about must have a vaccine card.

El segundo grupo (extranjeros que no residen en Colombia, sino que visitan el pas por turismo u ocio) tiene que presentar su carn de vacunacin con esquema completo, al menos 14 das antes del vuelo. Si tiene el esquema incompleto o no ha cumplido los 14 das de haberlo terminado, para poder entrar al pas debe tener una prueba PCR negativa con mximo 72 horas de antelacin.

We'll see but your article is from December 7 like my first link when they said vaccination or PCR. My second link was from the 8th where they said for tourists it is vaccination and PCR. So no one knows yet which one it will be for sure but my guess is that it is going to be both PCR and vaccine.

The one thing for sure is that in a few months it will change after this policy puts a major dent in their tourism dollars. They have changed things eight times in the last 15 months.

I hope we get the official word on the 14th that is either fully vax or PCR and not both for tourists.

For what it's worth, here is an official update from the USA Embassy.

"Entry and Exit Requirements .

Are USA Citizens permitted to enter?8239;Yes.

As of December 14, all visitors to Colombia aged 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 need to have a PCR test 72 hours prior to arrival in Colombia.

Travelers must complete Migracióand Colombia's online Check-Mig form within 48 hours of boarding an inbound or outbound flight from Colombia. If the normal form's website is down travelers can find a contingency website here. ".

A number of article used the word PCR or vaccine. I see what you read. Now here is one saying you need both. https://www.aviacionline.com/2021/12...r-the-country/.

God, I hate this shit.

I hope we get the official word on the 14th that is either fully vax or PCR and not both for tourists.

As I read it, the second category needs a PCR test if they only have one jab of the two jab vaccines. It would be nice to have some clarification on this as I am traveling to Colombia in a few weeks.

I think it is full vaccine status or one shot and and a PCR test. Here is what Medellin Guru is saying:

"For tourists visiting Colombia, must have a completed vaccination record or at least one vaccination and a PCR test with a negative result taken within 72 hours."

I have scheduled a test just in case, but I don't think it is required. Anyone else have more information?

This may get you started.

You're spot on, Mr. E.

Heading into Bogota on Saturday, then on to check out Frogg's recent discovery, Villavicencio. Been coming here since 1970, and Colombia's an always-exciting, wonderful place, filled with a colorful cast of great people.

Too bad so many Americans fear it so much. But, hey, better for the rest of us.

Happy hols to all.

Poly.

I had the same problem with a CS debit card at a few ATMs, but another card worked perfect.

Called CS, they said wrong pin too many time, they had to block it out. Reset the PIN, card works now.
