Travel Within Colombia While Waiting For US Passport Renewal?

2 years ago

I am a US Citizen. I want to renew my US passport. I went to the consulate in Barranquilla. I was told I need to wait ~7 weeks to receive my new passport. My old passport can be hole punched and returned to me. I also have a US driver's license. I need to be in Bogota every 4 weeks to have my braces tightened with my orthodontist. My question is, does anyone know if it's legal to fly or take the bus within Colombia with only a hole punched passport and a US driver's license? It's hard to find a definitive answer online and I don't want to risk being detained because I don't have a legally recognized document. Thank you for the help.
