We were departing SKBO [Runway] 13L. I was the FO; 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.
