    I arrived April 13. I had both my vaccines. I don't mind the lockdowns. I am still able to get out every day. I was in El Poblado the first week. I arrived in Laureles a few days ago. Beautiful country. It is still less expensive in Medellín than anywhere in US.

    Very interesting... I’m currently in itagui and it seems like the police are not enforcing the curfew at all. I’ve been outside walking the neighborhood on Friday and Saturday right past police with other people and they did not seem to care. When I went to laurelles, it was quite the opposite of itagui. There were very few people on the street and the majority of stores were closed. I’m not really sure why some restaurants and other stores are closed and some are open and the police do nothing. Anyways, thank Sam and tacha!

    Curfew was 12 midnight it's now..
    10 pm.
    Police are very fair. It's light enforcement.
    ID card again ..not so strict.
    Beach is closed at 2 pm
    I leave soon ..it looks like things are changing quickly .. So it's a bit risky..
    the rules can change at very short notice..
    I think it will be like this a long time.. because Vaccination in Colombia is slow..

      Also don't forget to fill out the online immigration forms 24hrs before traveling to Colombia. Don't wait until you get to the airport, sometimes the website can have issues the day of your travel and you will not be allowed to board your flight without it.

    I mean... I've been staring at the same walls at home for a year. I have food delivered most of the time in L.A. I know every place here and until things are normal... this place is boring to me. I arrive on Saturday and have an apartment for a month in Laureles and I'll make the best of it. I think it helps that I speak, read, write Spanish fluently too. :)

    I was in Bogota this past December and it was great. Folks were masked and social distancing protocols were adhered to, yet we were able to go out into town and enjoy ourselves. Was supposed to have flown down again in May, but pushing it to the right until this latest flare-up begins to stabilize. Luckily, I've got my second Pfizer shot, so I'm fully vaccinated (although I'll still have to get the PCR test in order to fly back down).
