I will get flamed for this, but I'm at a stage where if I want to reschedule my trip, I need to do so soon. Please be gentle.

How to fat gringos fare with the ladies of Colombia (Medellin). I have read somewhere that, as long as you are clean and well-groomed, you should be fine, but can anyone confirm?

I'm early 40's, overweight but not obese. I had planned to lose weight and emerge from the plane in Medellin as a new, slim, butterfly. But I'm losing 2 lb per week and at that rate I'm still going to be overweight (c. 180 lb, 5'7' If I would have more success, and more fun, with another 15-20 lb loss, I can hold off until Christmas. It has been 20 months since my last encounter with a lady so I wanted this trip to be one to remember. I don't want to get there and find that I'm snubbed by the ladies LOL.

The most important thing the women look for is personality. In Bogota "personality" is pronounced "dinero."

Before you travel especial in the covid moment, it is wise to know the government / city restrictions of the Destination you want to travel.

Make sense?

[MarcoPatz]

Can some help me here with restriction information's? I not found websites that gave me information on that most are UK government sites.

What are in the moment now the covid restrictions in Colombia Medellin, Bogota?

Are there contact restrictions or is it allowed to invite 2-3 girls in private house (rent)?

Allowed to make indoor party in private house?

Other restrictions or curfews there? Nightlife restaurant, Bars are closed or open? Wearing masks in shops?

I need good detailed information before I travel to a country.

I fly next Wednesday to Cartgena for my first trip. Can somebody please verify that no COVID test is required to fly into Colombia, only one is required to fly back to the US?

Thanks in advance.

It's not required, but I wish people stopped asking this question in all the wrong places. There is nothing more fluid than travel restrictions in this day and age. You MUST check the primary source.

As of this post no COVID test required to enter. Only negative antigen covid test required to reenter the US.

But with the Mu variant things can change at any time. Keep your eye on the Colombia embassy site.

You can go to the COPA Airlines website where they have COVID info widget or whatever it's called. Try it, it's very easy and for sure up to date but someone here should reply shortly too.

Medellin, he decided to leave after having a argument with girlfriend and wondered the streets at night alone.

Maybe we drank to much and was a victim.

Thanks for the additional info. I figured it had to be somewhere outside of CTG.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but in Youtube Videos I see, that most People wear Masks in public spaces.

Is this mandatory? Or are the People just so responsible?

Is there a need to wear medical masks in public? Because I could not find any information on that topic.

Its a gray area.

When I was in CTG there were some with and without. In the discos only the gringos wore masks, no chicas wore masks. In restaurants only the workers wore masks, patrons didn't. When walking around outside some had them on around their chin some had them fully on, some had none but when entering stores like Exito the security guard will tell you to put it on. This was all in CTG though so I'm not sure what the mask enforcement is outside of CTG.

A Bronx mother is mourning over the death of their beloved son who was reported missing while on vacation in Colombia.

Felix Jose Almanzar, 31, would call his parents Francisco Torres and Dianna every morning at 7 am.

The 31-year-old was vacationing in Colombia with his girlfriend and a group of nine friends. On his third day in the country, his family reported him missing once they learned that he didn't return to his hotel room after getting into a fight with his girlfriend early Saturday morning.

They say his body was found in another hotel three miles away from where he was staying.

Torres tells News 12 that his stepson was identified through his tattoos. He says he believes he encountered the wrong people..

Torres tells News 12 that his stepson was identified through his tattoos. He says he believes he encountered the wrong people.

He says both he and his wife tried to convince their son not to go to Colombia because they felt it was dangerous, but believed he shrugged the concerns due to how cheap the flight was.

The Bronx family is now working with Colombian police and the Embassy of Colombia of New York to obtain surveillance footage from the hotel where his body was found.

They say the case has been identified as a homicide. Their focus is on getting his body back to the Bronx, where they can say their final goodbyes.

Attention all of us seniors. Does Medicare cover multiple PCR tests? Representative at Medicare stated that they covered one test but did not know about additional ones. I could use the additional money to give the chicas a raise.

Colombia does not require a PCR test anymore and the USA only requires an Antigen test as of 2 weeks ago. So why a PCR test?
