Good luck! I'm going to Colombia in january also to get married. You should take a look to this web site:

http://bogota.usembassy.gov/wwwsmare.shtml

Those are the papers most nationalities need (birth certificate,certificado de solteria and everything should have an apostille). I recommend you to take contact with a notary now, because it can take time to get married in the notary.Your fiance has also to send papers in at least one month before you get married. So I think you should reconsider your "surprise"

Good luck

First!!!!!!!!! 1 Can I get married in Colombia?( I have only 1 week)
It can be done with planning
2 What are the documents I need to get married in Colombia?
see my below advice
3 Do I have to put a advertisement in local newspaper?
No
4 Do I have to do a church marriage or a court marriage?
It's up to you and her.


Since she is back in Colombia find a notary in Colombia where she whats the ceremony conducted. Determine from THAT notary EAACTLY what will be required. Then follow the notary's wishes.

If It is to be a catholic church wedding then have her visit one of the priest at the church she would like to use. Explain the situation to him and follow his advice. If it is a Catholic Church wedding the notary is out of the picture except to register the wedding with him or her-this has to be done to make the marriage recognizable IN COLOMBIA.

This will save you and her a lot of running around.

Just to get married as a start, you could get married on San Andres. It is a Colombian territory or department. They only require your passport, and her (Colombian's) cedula and RECENT copy of birth certificate showing no current "married" status. It is easy compared to the mainland, but is 100% legal and recognized internationally as a legit marriage.

He who farts in church, sits in his own pew.

I married in the notaria 41 in bogota. It was one of the few that could do it just a few days after giving them the documents. Most of the other notarias required at least 3 month to process the documentation.
