Bogota Reports

If this gets too bad, I may have to consider going somewhere else.

I'm friends with various Colombians, not just my novia and x novias but some Colombian business men who get their info at the source. I was relatively confidant the Airport would remain open because of the kickback from the banks and business community. BUT going back to the PCR requirement scares me because that is the first salvo at tourists and travelers. I'm 100% sure the lock downs and quarantines will continue to worsen and get more restrictive. When Lopez gets back from vacation, not sure when that is, I am sure the restrictions will increase in Bogota. I was in Bogota in December and it was a shadow of itself. So I won't be back anytime soon in the foreseeable future. I only hope the airport remains open so my girl can get out of Colombia in time to visit me here next week.

Keep your eye on the hospitals, they are publicly saying they are 80% full, more accurately, based on some well informed sources who are saying it is very close or at the 100% capacity. That may be the straw that breaks the camels back. The neighborhoods that are closed down now, may become the entire country tomorrow. They did it once and they can do it again. If it was me, I'd get out of dodge now, don't wait.

Since no one has mentioned it, just want to let everyone know that 3 barrios / districts have started a strict quarantine today, to end on the 18th. The barrios effected are Usaquen, Suba and Engativa. I know a few chicas in these places and they are not happy about it.

A lady friend who lives just outside of Bogota tells me only if you do not have a negative PCR. I'm assuming within 72 hours, but I am guessing. Time to research the new rules. Really does not look like I will be returning to Colombia before April at the earliest and even that may be too optimistic.

Requirement and rules don't start until January 12th. This is the information from the embassy and not from 3rd, 4th and 5th parties.

Thank you. A somewhat more helpful timeframe.

Sorry if this has already been asked, I looked but didn't see anything. What are the "hours" of SF during these Covid times? I know in the past I would usually arrive after dark and stay until 2 am. Thanks for the info.

The street activity starts shutting down at around 10:30 pm and is mostly gone by 11 pm. The clubs close when they close.

It looks like people entering Colombia are asked to isolate themselves for 2 weeks. Implemented yesterday.

Not true, your missing a lot of key information.

Thats a lot of legwork, thanks for reporting back albeit on a negative experience. There's learning in it too.
Are you working, photoprepagos, mileroticos, skokka, doncolombia and other such sites to order in?

I'd like to but I'm not particularly good at screening. Any tips? In the past I've just used agencies like La Celestina.

Have gone to SF the past two nights. Nothing significant to report. Due to everyone being on vacation only 2 clubs had any decent number of chicas running around (Atunis and Troya). Last night it was just Atunis after 10 pm. Troya was pretty dead. Police are everywhere to enforce quarantine, but that just means they are locking up shops and getting girls off the streets. Hustlers will still bring you inside the clubs.

Also on Tuesday a curfew goes into effect for Usaquen, Engativa, and Suba from 8 pm to 5 am daily. It is supposed to last until January 18. Those are in the northern part of the city, but I wouldn't be surprised if the mayor changes the rules in the coming days. We all saw this coming so it is what it is.

It looks like people entering Colombia are asked to isolate themselves for 2 weeks. Implemented yesterday.

From El Tiempo Today:

"Travelers who do not have the PCR test must state in writing, on the form provided for it, their difficulty in taking the test at the place of origin or obtaining the results in the times stipulated for the flight. In these cases, once entering the country, the traveler must undergo the PCR test and keep preventive isolation for 14 days. Isolation may end sooner if the test result is negative. Both the value of the test and the costs derived from the preventive isolation, will be in charge of the traveler ", explains the resolution in its technical annex.

Was great showing you around-- I just want to say that there are no guarantees -- I feel Santa Fe is relatively safe-- if you take proper precautions.

But-Shit Happens-- One reason it is safe is the police presence and the Venezuelans (majority of people in SF) face deportation for criminal activity.

Woodman,

I am traveling solo and would appreciate it if I could get a introduction to the area. Thanks in advance!
