Green Walking Stick
This appears to be an immature stick insect, and as such, you likely are going to have difficulty getting a specific i.d. for it. A very similar specimen can be seen at https://pixabay.com/en/videos/nature-stick-insect-leaf-garden-18633/ but unfortunately it is not identified.
Colombia has a very diverse stick insect fauna - the authors of this book estimate at least 300 different species could occur there - https://www.amazon.com/Stick-Insects-Colombia-bibliography-descriptions-ebook/dp/B005J2WNAE

Thanks very much. I have heard of that book.

It looks more like a Clitumninae. I'd written an essay about this sub-family in school. I'd try to ask my friend from education service, who studies deeply about Phasmatidae's types. I think it's same as stick insect on this pic from Wikipedia.
Please ignore the comment by WilliamChandler. The subfamily Clitumninae is restricted to Asia, and the specimen illustrated in Wikipedia looks nothing like PitterCol's specimen.
