TZ has for Colombia a single period with time zone 4h west.
# Rule NAME FROM TO - IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S
Rule CO 1992 only - May 3 0:00 1:00 -
Rule CO 1993 only - Apr 4 0:00 0 -
I think the end date 4 April is wrong, it should be 6 February 24h or 7
February 0h
The time shift was called Hora Gaviria, and caused by shortage of
electricity in connection with El Niño .

There is also a newspaper article

of 4 feb 1993, but the text is less clear to my limited understanding of
Spanish.
