DD, I am en route to Colombia and the airline asked for the Covid test.

Please which airline?

DD, I am en route to Colombia and the airline asked for the Covid test.

I have a flight tomorrow. I do not have PCR test. Can anyone confirm flying without PCR test after resolution was passed?

If they don't let me board, will I be able to get a test at the airport and board next available flight?

I'm going to the Mansion on Thursday. From NY. American airlines is bombarding me with stuff about covid, Colombian websites etc. I'm going to get the test just in case there's a problem somewhere along the line.

WOW this is GREAT NEWS! Just when I am planning my trip next week. I am in desperate need of sanity, sunshine, and beauty I can get my hands on.

Except the downer is that the airlines don't have that updated yet. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. They might have said no more PCR testing at the airport in Colombia, but still requiring it for boarding a plane to Colombia? However, instead of 72 hours they give 96 hours, which is much easier to schedule.

It's good news no PCR anymore but Colombia never does anything smoothly. It will be a little rocky for a while but I'm sure the airlines will get the word soon but not until they get clarification for Colombia. Best to consider the possibility of needing the test if your traveling soon. I'm in the same boat, I travel on June 10th.

It looks like it's true, no more PCR requirement, now if the USA can get out of the way and stop the Anti8 gen test we can get a little closer to normalcy.

Tough position.

In the past I believe (not sure) you had to prove to the outgoing airline in USA, then USA immigration, and then Colombian immigration. So any of those 3 entities could throw a wrench in anyone's travel plans. So it may be safest to get the test just to be sure. I would definitely print out something off the Colombian government website.

I mention this because my trip to the Philippines had a stopover and plane change in China. The airline employee in the USA checking in my bags said I needed a visa to enter China. I had to explain to her that physically I would be in China but legally I would not be since I would not be going past immigration and outside the airport. Amazing!

You have to look up resolucion 777 de 2021 Colombia. The information is there. I have read the 7 page resolution 3 times and do not see anything there, but all the online news outlets are reporting it to be part of the document.

En materia de vuelos internacionales, se eliminar la aplicacin Coronapp, por lo cual no ser necesario tenerla para entrar al pas y se suspende tambin la prueba PCR negativa como requisito de ingreso a territorio nacional, tanto para nacionales como para extranjeros a partir del 1 de junio.

I'll have my novia look into this, It's a complete reversal for Colombia to do this but nothing out of Colombia surprises me anymore. Jaja.

Also it looks like the Government and the paramilitary are out to stop the anarchists' from doing all the destruction to the cities.

Here's hoping the cities get back to somewhat normal and the working class can get back to work again without having to walk to many kilometers to work and back.

I haven't heard anything like this yet, Can't imagine Colombia doing this now.

Hi brothers, can you help me with advice?

I'm planning to visit Colombia for 2 weeks and I'm trying to choose between Medellin, Bogota and Cartagena. I don't want to check-in check-out all the time so I decide to spend one week at one place and then move to the second. So I have to skip one but can't decide which one. My trips usually are walking around enjoying the area including the usual tourist stuff, drinking beer next to the sea (that's why Cartagena) and of course having fun with the local girls. Usually semi-pro spending the whole night together (sometimes and the whole day). Very often visiting the tourist places in the company of the girl that I spend the night with. So I think Cartagena is a must but not sure about the second stop. Maybe Medellin because of the girls, especially the Venezuelan Any thoughts on the subject?

Beach is always a great place to spend time with or without a girl. Some of my best trips were to Rio, I had an Apartment on Ave. Atlantica overlooking hooker beach 2 blocks down from Help!! Ahh the good old days. The girl is always what makes or breaks a trip. Beach, tourism etc. Is always a part of it. I met a few amazing women on my trips and although I am not a fan of Todo Noche, beach, dinner, a few days with the right woman can make for an amazing trip. One time, years ago I met an amazing women in Costa Rica, looks, body, sex over the top, spoke some English. Anyway, me being like a kid in a candy store she asked me if I wanted her to stay over and I said no you can go and off I went to mine for another all star. Well that all star never happened and I began to miss my other girl. So after 2 days of really bad sessions with less than steller girls I contacted the first girl and see told me she went to Panama and would not return until I went back to the USA. Lesson learned. My advice is, pick one first, Ctg. Is good if you like the sea and you don't mind paying the higher prices, and you find a hot chic who checks off all the boxes stay there. Because the flight's are many and cheap, I would hold off making any further reservations. If things get stale and you want a change of scenery you can always get on the computer and book a flight and room in one of the other cities. Keep your options open especially if the riots persist, you never know what is going to happen if you pre-book other cities. All in all it sounds like you can do whatever you want whenever you want, sounds like a plan.

I have a covid 19 test set for this Sunday. It looks like Colombia has said the test is no longer needed. Any thoughts on if this is true?

I hope so.

I have been jabbed. The girl I plan to visit in Bogota was not. She was a leader for SOS Colombia and out demonstrating. Now she's very sick with Covid. They do it to themselves. But I wonder which is worse. Living thru hell to preserve health care for the most at risk while the damage to everyone else in the entire country is creating havoc. Possibly overturning the government, police shootings, riots. An even worse situation. They do it to themselves in desperation. Where is the solution? http://thecitypaperbogota.com/news/c...immunity/27581.

There is very clear difference. If you think the working class is destroying the Transmilenio system or tearing down the traffic lights in south Bogota or blocking trade routes you are drastically misinformed. The FARC & ELN are a left wing revolutionary groups who have been trying to overthrow the existing government for half a century. Destroying the Infrastructure is their way of attacking the government in place. In Bogota thousands of working people are now trying to ride bikes and walking long distances to try to continue to get a pay check. Don't think for a minute that the militant left wing is not behind all this destruction. They are hiring displaced Venezuelans and thugs to do this. They are masked anarchists and need to be arrested and jailed before any meaningful change for the better for the working class. That's why when the taxes imposed were rescinded the riots continued and in fact got worse. The FARC and ELN have embraced The famous words of the liberal left progressive party in the USA.

NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TH WASTE. So until the government figures out a way to separate the militants from the ranks of the disadvantaged working class, I'm afraid these anarchists' lead riots will continue for a long time.

DC,

If you just did the opposite of all the Colombian government has done in the pandemic, you would have a pretty sound policy. The list of stupid things they have done is endless.

The solution is to separate the political BS that Fauci and his clan at the CDC and NIH are spouting off and doing what works. Masks inside when people are close to one another especially when there is talking, singing, working out ETC and vaccines. That is it. That is what works. All the other stuff (the curfews, the travel ban, the restricting of one person from a family going to the store, the hand washing, the sanitizing, the banning people from going outdoors, the social distancing) is theater and giving fines for any of it is as stupid as the day is long.

Fauci and his patronizing NIH clan and CDC buddies are being called out now, and I for one am glad to see it happening. The governor of Texas tuned Fauci out, and I cannot wait to see other government leaders do likewise.
