your best bet will be calling the schools and see.
Try hotels working as a translator

but can you look for a job in a company without a visa?

I mean if you then are hired, will they ask for a work visa on your behalf?

yes, a company will make a petition for the foregin worker (in Col, US, France, UK, Brazil is the same way)
Work visas are exclusive within the company.

Sell souvineers on the beach or think of an original idea. The best I saw was a guy dressed like a doctor carrying a blood pressure kit and stethoscope on the beach. He was offering to take blood pressure for about 5 mil pesos.

Sorry Melinda, I do not live in Cartagena (I`m applying to a job there though...)
Pick up the yellow pages and start calling around
