Just get a cedula there during your stay.

yep, tarjeta de identidad is a waste of time!..... just get a cedula (be prepared to get up early and make the long queue though)...

You Should Wait... until after you turn 18 to apply. The cedula is issued only to those 18 and older. If you will turn 18 shortly after arriving in Colombia the tarjeta de identidad, as British Paisa said, is a waste of time.

DO NOT FORGET TO HAVE THE PROPER APPROVEL TO TRAVEL AS A MINOR(under 18). Minors (under 18), who are traveling alone, with one parent or with a third party must present a copy of their birth certificate and written authorization from the absent parent(s) or legal guardian, specifically granting permission to travel alone, with one parent or with a third party. This document must be notarized before a Colombian consular officer in the United States.Minors (under 18), who are traveling alone, with one parent or with a third party must present a copy of their birth certificate and written authorization from the absent parent(s) or legal guardian, specifically granting permission to travel alone, with one parent or with a third party. This document must be notarized before a Colombian consular(might be no longer required but must have the original seal) officer in the United States.

I would check if you are not traveling with BOTH parents.
