Only ones I know of are pirated CMAP 93 charts, but they have been pulled from most sites where they used to be available.

There are unofficial georeferenced copies of Bauhaus charts too, very handy, esp in the San Blas.

Are you looking for mainland Colombia or just San Adreas/Providencia?

Hello from Canada for now.... We Have the CM93. We also Have the BauHaus for Panama. We were looking for Columbia mainland and the Islands do StAndreas /Providencia... If you can help in anyway, it would be appreciated.

...did you mean.. Colombia right?... Columbia is a river, a university but not a country.. (my 0,2 cents at the american general culture...)

Yes, Colombia

When you get to Providencia or San Andres (both easy well marked channels), your agent can give you (free) a Colombia cruising guide. It has excellent charts for both islands and all of Colombia. We just arrived in Panama

The official Colombian cruising guide is available in PDF format (though its large...~400MB). All the charts are there in digital format so they just need to be georeferenced to use with a charting app like OpenCPN.

It covers San Andreas and Providencia too.

Just picked up my very own printed copy in Santa Marta, Colombia...long trip just to get a cruising guide. 😉
