I was having fun paying with the package dismo dismo and GBIF data when I discovered that using IAvH code you can download all the data set for Colombian institutions. So I decided to play with it.
Some tables still need some additional work to fix extra spaces and inconsistent characters. Plotting this data set you can see where mainly Colombian researchers have collected biodiversity.
Th idea is that each blue point is a collection record. 
From here you can get the R code
