Nobody knows you or what country you are from in order to tell you what is needed. Best thing to do would be to see if your country has an embassy in Colombia and look on their website. Second best thing would be to look at the State Department from your country website.

[QUOTE=JonesLover;2582543]Hello friends,

I got both vaccinations and I have a desire to reach Colombia.

Can you tell me what I need to enter the country beyond the Visa in this time of covid-19?

In other words, is it easy or difficult to enter Colombia?

Thank you.[/QUOTE]It's damn near impossible. A year ago BM SJobs was talking about paying someone to smuggle him into the country. He's since disappeared and hasn't been heard from. I fear the worst.

Have you considered reading the various forums, such as the Medellin, Bogota and Cartagena reports? I'm almost certain that if it's difficult to enter Colombia, the information will be found there.

[QUOTE=SkyBuilder;2581083]Well, while I had a completely different experience with having my own vehicle and being able to move around how I wanted to, I would agree with a few of your points. The potholes seem like they could swallow a bus sometimes. And the Speed Bumps will sneak up on you. Worse is that they trick you by painting them yellow and then sometimes just putting a yellow stripe on the road. You will hit the brakes and find it is just paint then the next time you will fly on through and be launched into the air by the bump. LOL. Another thing I found outside the cities was the use of multiple speed bumps when approaching a stop sign and they will use the same trick of just painting the lines sometimes. They are white and will rock your molars out if you do not slow down for them.

I Loved having the ability to come and go when and where I wanted. I had reserved a car with National before the trip but got a weird message as I landed stating that my reservation had been cancelled due to not having any cars. I am an Executive Level user with them and was all the more annoyed at this. They got an ear full when I got back to the states. Anyway, I found a guy on OLX and rented a car directly from him. It was a nice, older RAV4 at got us around well. Only issue there was that he had the car on GPS and knew everywhere we went. We told him we were going to Santa Marta for a couple of days but when we got there we could not find a decent hotel room or even an AirBNB to rent so we returned to our apartment in Barranquilla. Along the road back he texted us asking why we were returning OMFG!.[/QUOTE]I never have had any issues with the police. Twice I was in a taxi late at night and was stopped. Both times they glanced inside and waved us on. Once a cop in Medellin told me I couldn't drink my beer in Parque Lleras. I walked 20 yards out of the park and finished my beer.

I did get pulled over by the transportation police in the rental car, but when he found out it was a rental he let me go.

I rented from Enterprise and had no issues. I'll also probably rent again. It's just nice to be able to hop in and get out of town.

Oh that made me cringe!

I guess some guys want to pretend to live the dream of flexin' and flashin' their bling and sending pics to their social media.

What really made me cringe was how they photoshopped their logo on the bikinis and bling chains on the necks of model pics they scraped off the internet.

[QUOTE=BangoCheito;2582250]I feel the same about MDE and CTG. 3-4 days and I'm peacin out. They're both boring.

Why not check out Pereira, Manizales, Armenia, Bucaramanga?[/QUOTE]That's what I did, because I have that very same problem, out of 2 weeks in MDE I also booked a few days in Pereira and Santa Marta.

Do you think if it is possible to spend one week in Brasil and then one week in Colombia? Restrictions?

Thanks for your answer.

[QUOTE=Frenchieboy;2584901]Do you think if it is possible to spend one week in Brasil and then one week in Colombia? Restrictions?

Thanks for your answer.[/QUOTE]I think I read that you need to have your yellow fever vaccine if your going from Brazil to Colombia, could be wrong though.

[QUOTE=SoberHans69;2584917]I think I read that you need to have your yellow fever vaccine if your going from Brazil to Colombia, could be wrong though.[/QUOTE]A couple of years ago, I spent a week in Colombia, then a week in Brazil. The Brazilian border folks requested proof of yellow fever vaccination. In the way back, I spent one more night in Colombia. If I remember correctly, they did not ask for any proof of vaccination. However, this is easy to check via Google.

[QUOTE=SoberHans69;2584917]I think I read that you need to have your yellow fever vaccine if your going from Brazil to Colombia, could be wrong though.[/QUOTE]Many thanks for your answer but you said yellow fever vaccine? Or covid vaccine? Maybe I will try to go first Colombia and after Brasil, in Brasil I think less restrictions.
