Narrative:

We were departing skbo [runway] 13L. I was the first officer; pilot monitoring. Shortly after to; in the airport traffic area; prior to the left turn on the SID; I spotted a small fixed-wing drone. It was ahead of and below us; flying relatively fast; in our same direction. We were climbing runway heading and passed it to our right. We didnt' take evasive action. I estimate it was about 200 meters to our right; below us about 300-400 feet; at closest.I called it in to skbo tower and they kept saying it was a helicopter that they had on radar. I kept telling them that it wasn't a helicopter; and that it was a drone/uav/rc fixed-wing aircraft. Some other spanish-speaking pilot on tower frequency had to explain it to them...the tower didn't give us any feedback. I got the impression they weren't at all familiar with this threat.when I saw it; it was flying away from the airport; on a course approximately between the two runways; flying about our same heading (130 degrees); at about 700 feet AGL.
