Work Visa

Does anyone know how long you can stay in colombia on a tourist visa?
Do you have to get a work visa before entering the country or can you do visa runs?
thanks

If I want to stay in the country more than 180 days in a year but not work, what would be the easiest way?

I might just drive a water truck next year for a couple of months. They will pay me over $10000 a month then I head south.
