Seriously, Yooo, buy a cheap ticket to Bogota and pay John a visit. Visit the site and talk with John and others involved in the permitting process. You have enough $$ invested to justify the trip. If you would like, I can email John and see if he is willing to host you and show you all there is to see.
Colombia is an easy trip; you can do this. Let me know if you are interested and I will email John.
