Applies to all countries, not sure about Colombia specifically:
If your card doesn't have foreign transaction fees, just do that. Otherwise, get some local currency.
If you're going to a touristy area, they may take American cash, but they set their own exchange rates that are never in your favor.
If you do use your card, make sure to call your bank and let them know where you will be traveling so they don't cancel your card.

All of this. I use my card as much as possible, but always get a little local cash, just in case I need it. Some places are still cash oriented, but most will take cards these days.
