It doesn't have a generic nickname like that. (As far as I know)Just call them "Colombianos".
Although there do exist some nicknames for specific places, like the following:

Medellin (And surrounding areas)= Paisas
Bogota= Cachacos or Rolos
The Coast line= Costeños

I hope this helps answer your question.

IN other countries, people call colombian as "cafeteros" because they, the colombians, have a very important coffee industry.

In football competitios, a team from colombia is called, usually, the "cafetero team".

Naturally, inside Colombia they are diferent regional nicknames, but noone of them is "national" as "Cafeteros".

The nickname thing goes by what town you're from. For example somone from Medellin is a "paisa",from Bogota,a "rulo." I'm not sure of the other ones because all my friends are from Medellin.
