Additional Lab Resource for Covid Testing
Analizer Laboratories has several locations in Bogota. They are quick and will email you the results in English or Spanish. There was one location that was a 5 minute walk from my AirBnB. Stopped by on a Saturday morning before my returning flight on a Tuesday. Unfortunately they don't perform the test at their location. However, they did help me set up an appt at another location for Monday. They assured me I would have my results before my flight. I took an Uber and arrived at the other lab Monday at 7 am. They checked my passport and gave me the test. I was there probably a total of 15 minutes. I got my results at 2:30 am Tuesday morning. I did have to try several times to download the pdf into my phone. Verify accepted to PDF.
Several things to know.
They speak only Spanish at the Laboratory. So know some Spanish or have a working translator app. I've practiced enough Duolingo and listened to News In Slow Spanish podcasts and was able to pick up on enough words to know what they were saying and asking for.
Have your passport.
Have your flight info (either the physical ticket, email, or airline app) for them to see. In the case of my AA app they wanted a screenshot of my flight info emailed. I didn't have Internet. Fortunately, the lady working there was quick on her feet and took a screenshot from her phone and emailed it for me.
They're closed on Sundays.
Stop by in advanced even before your 72-96 hour window starts in case you can't do a walk in or have to go to another location.
