Joe Tilley, 24, from Leicester, England, disappeared during his time at the popular Fin del Mundo waterfall near the city of Mocoa, in Putumayo on Saturday, May 5.
Friends and family have flown into the country from the UK to assist the army and police search.
The Brit, who featured in a television documentary called Jungletown last year, has been travelling in the country since February.
Both a Facebook and GoFundMe page have been set up to raise funds to help find Joe.

The Leicester Mercury newspaper reported that Joe is an experienced traveller, and his disappearance was out-of-character.
A friend was quoted saying he is brilliant, adventurous but sensible and wouldnt disappear without telling people.
The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: Our staff are supporting the family of a British Man who has been reported missing in Colombia and are in touch with the local authorities.
Putumayo is one of Colombias most remote departments. Bordering Ecuador in the south-west of the country, it is middle of the Amazon forest.
