I think yours is Eriophora sp. and Eriophora ravilla. I found another one which might be found in Colombia (at least Peru is indicated): Eriophora edax, but I cannot see any orange which is typical for Eriophora and specially Eriophora ravilla, which is probably the most common neotropical Eriophora. Please, verify nevertheless! http://aces.nmsu.edu/academics/spiders/arid/images/Araneidae%20Eriophora%20edax.jpg
