Strangely enough when my wife (now a US citizen) goes to Colombia- they still insist in seeing here Colombian passport, when they see that the US passport says "Birthplace: Colombia" Additionally it's hard to do much there without here Cedula (or Colombian Citizenship card)- they ask for it when you make a purchase, or use a credit card.
As to the passport you just can't reason with the Colombian immigration officials- she shouldn't need a Colombian passport as a US citizen, but they wouldn't let us through with out it. So now we have to maintain both the Colombian and US passports.
