I am a long time lurker, first time poster. I have done my fair share of RTFF. I am planning a trip in July and will follow up with a FR.

Again, I am new and understand I don't have much to offer yet in the form of a FR, as this would be my first trip, but any help would be much appreciated. And while I'll be staying in Medellin and Cartagena for the majority of the trip (20 ish days) I would be willing to check out Bogota or Cali for the experience. Thanks again guys.

I wouldn't normally post links to the chicas on a public forum but these twins are wide open about their activities with gringos. They are very nice girls too.

Their price for a session (1 1/2 to two hours) is 200 mil plus 50 taxi. So if you want both that would be 450 mil. Please don't overpay the facebook girls

This is confusing, are you saying that anyone can leave during the weekend curfew to go shopping if their ID number corresponds with the allowable day. Something doesn't sound right about this, as if this is what your saying, it would mean that perhaps 1/2 of the population could be out shopping on any one day of the total lockdown. And although the markets like EXITO are open for delivery items, I don't believe they are open for business as usual during lockdown and curfew hours.

During the weekend it's full lockdown, but they listed pico y cedula (Friday and Sunday are odd and Saturday is even). Can you go to the grocery store? TIA.

It could be used as a mark of the beast of sorts where when you do not have it the mundane things you used to do with relative ease have been made very difficult.

How dare you challenge or disagree with these rabid partisan ideologues.

You ought to be whipped in public!!

Pot calling the kettle black. The Chicken Little conspiracy theory hawkers are the rabid partisan ideologues, with heads full of wingnut news and social media.

Just landed yesterday, staying in Niquia. Today, ID ending with 0-1 can enter certain spots (grocery stores, banks, etc). Monday: 0-1, Tuesday: 2-3-4, Wednesday: 5-6-7, Thursday: 8-9. I have 4 forms of ID / Passports, each ending with a different digit so no problem for me. I make wallet size color copies of passports that are laminated so they look legit. I used Driver's License today and also before during last Christmas / NY lockdowns and never had a problem. The security people just look at last digit and all good. I know some people here have said only can enter with passport, but in my experience never had to show it unless my passport had the corresponding digit.

And yes, the vaccine passport in many countries will be a pass not only to travel, but also to attend mass events or other things. Highly democratic countries may pose additional tedious requirements to those who have not a green pass, without banning them.
I highly doubt I will be allowed to first enter, then do anything interesting in Singapore without such a pass, for example. And I do not expect Singaporean Authorities will care a damn f*ck if I complain because I feel discriminated LOL. Nobody will force ME to get a vaccine shot, but also nobody can force THEM to welcome me if I do not accept a vaccination.

Incidentally, I note that any time I applied to enter USA I had to declare that I was not planning to do anything illegal, anything *immoral* (gosh! that was a problem), and I was not infected with syphilis or other infectious diseases.

You assume that a vaccine passport will only be used for those that want to travel abroad. It could just as well be used to discriminate against citizens of your own country.

Ask the Jews that were in the Holocaust, the Cambodians under the Polpot regime, or the apartheid era South Africans how this vaccine passport thing could go very left.

Patriot Act.

So basically at 8 pm Curfew and half the people can use the stores each day. What they really need to do is go into the barriers and make sure the people wear masks but that's easier said than done right it is the land of Pablo Escobar or was.

Lots of questions there.

Long story short: until the ICU rate there drops to at least below 85%, any further trip planning to Medellin in the next few months will be futile.

Info curtesy of Medellin Guru:

New Curfew Measures from President Duque

On April 4, President Duque announced measures for curfews and pico y cedula in Colombian municipalities depending on ICU occupancy from April 5 to April 19.

For cities with ICU occupancy between 50 and 69 percent optionally establish pico y cedula measures and establish curfews between midnight and 5:00 am

For cities with ICU occupancy between 70 and 79 percent establish pico y cedula measures and establish curfews between 10:00 pm and 5:00 am

For cities with ICU occupancy between 80 and 85 percent establish pico y cedula measures and establish curfews between between 8:00 pm and 5:00 am

For cities with an ICU occupancy greater than 85 percent establish pico y cedula measures and establish curfews between between between 6:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.

On April 17, the ICU occupation in Antioquia was 97.39 percent out of a total of 1,420 ICUs available in Antioquia.

As of this post, the ICU rate has climbed to 97.82%:

Imagine being a Doctor having to decide who gets an ICU bed between a young person and an old person, knowing that most probably one will not survive.

This situation is exactly what everyone had hoped to avoid, hence the lockdowns and curfews to try to avoid it.

It's so sad what's going on.
