The flight
A fraction of the Turkey trek, with no upside-down jet lag on either end. You arrive the day before your procedure and let the trip start slowly.
The Encore experience
Four days handled
like a private client
Five-star surgery, a five-star hotel, five-star care on either side of it.
Much closer to the U.S. than Turkey — and on your own time zone, without the upside-down jet lag that follows you home.
The medicine is only half of it. The other half is the driver waiting inside the terminal, the suite already keyed, the dinner reservation you didn't have to make, and someone who answers at 11 p.m. on the night of your procedure. Everything but your flight is arranged for you, in English, start to finish.
Getting there
Nonstop from
cities across the U.S.
Bogotá sits almost straight south of the eastern U.S. — a short nonstop from most of the country and no meaningful time change. El Dorado (BOG) is the busiest airport in the region, with service from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, New York, Los Angeles and Washington. You land, you're met, and you're at the hotel inside an hour.
The arrival
Private transfers both ways — a driver inside the terminal, not a curbside app. A U.S. passport valid for your stay is all you need; no visa for tourism or a short medical stay.
The stay
A five-star hotel chosen for quiet, service and a short calm drive to the clinic. Breakfast, concierge and a room you'll actually want to recover in — arranged and confirmed before you land.
Your hotel
A five-star suite
above the city
This is where you'll actually stay — a suite with floor-to-ceiling views of Bogotá's eastern hills, a living-wall lobby downstairs, and room service when you'd rather not leave the bed. Chosen for quiet, service and a short calm drive to the clinic.
The city itself
Clean, safe, and
full of life
The Bogotá you'll see is the north of the city — manicured, walkable districts where doormen know your name, the streets are lined with jacarandas, and dinner is an event. This is one of South America's great food cities: world-class tasting menus, legendary steakhouses, and cafés serving some of the best coffee on earth, all within a few calm blocks of your hotel.
World-class dining
Bogotá's restaurant scene draws chefs from across the continent. Your concierge reserves the table — a quiet, celebrated room where dinner becomes one of the best nights of the trip.
Safe and polished
You'll stay and be treated in the city's most established northern neighborhoods — clean, well-lit, and secure, with private transfers so you never navigate alone.
South American vibrance
Music spilling out of doorways, flower markets, Sunday ciclovía, and warmth that Americans notice immediately. Recovery days here don't feel like recovery at all.
The clinic
North Bogotá,
walkable and calm
Our suite sits in the northern business district, close to the hotels most U.S. patients book and a short ride from the airport corridor.
Cra. 49a #93-23 — Bogotá, Colombia
Practical notes
Altitude, weather,
and the small stuff
Bogotá sits at roughly 8,660 feet. Days run about 60–68°F year-round, nights cooler, rain likely — bring a jacket and a loose button-down shirt you don't pull over your head. Drink more water than feels necessary for the first day.
Your itinerary
Day by day,
hour by hour
- Before you fly
- A private video consultation, your graft plan, and one written USD quote. We reserve your suite and send a printed itinerary. U.S. passport holders need no visa for a short stay.
- Day 1 — Arrival
- A private driver meets you inside El Dorado (BOG) with your name on a card and takes you to a five-star hotel in Bogotá's best neighborhood — roughly 30–60 minutes. Nothing else is asked of you that day.
- Day 2 — Exam & the city
- Your pre-operative medical exam comes to you, performed in the quiet of your hotel suite. Then the day is yours — we'll reserve a table at one of Bogotá's finest restaurants and arrange the car.
- Day 3 — Procedure day
- Morning pickup, a full unhurried day with a dedicated surgeon, two licensed technicians and an anesthesiologist — three procedures a day in the building, never more. Back at your hotel by evening with medications, an aftercare kit, and a number that answers.
- Day 4 — Fly home
- Final photos, written instructions in English, and a private car to the airport. Wear a loose button-down and a hat that doesn't touch the grafts.
- Check-ups
- Video-call check-ups on day 4 and day 10 — and whenever a question comes up, you reach us directly. The surgical team reviews everything and answers in English.
Five stars, all of it
The care around
the procedure
A dedicated team, not a queue
Three board-certified surgeons, three procedures a day. Yours is performed by one surgeon with two licensed technicians and an anesthesiologist — using the Trivellini System, a technology very few clinics have.
One flat fee
No per-graft math, no upsells, no reaching for a credit card mid-procedure. Transfers, hotel, exam and aftercare are part of it — quoted in USD before you book.
Attention that continues
Aftercare kit, written English instructions, and check-ups by video on day 4, day 10 and whenever you have a question — for the next twelve months.
Back home
The experience doesn't end
at the airport
You'll leave with a written recovery plan in plain English, video-call check-ups on day 4 and day 10, and a team that answers whenever a question comes up over the next twelve months. We also recommend the Encore Longevity protocol — red light therapy plus a non-hormonal DHT blocker — to help protect the transplant and slow loss in the hair you still have. encorelongevity.com
