From some Spanish text I found online and translated with Google:
50 pesos - spectacled bear
100 pesos - a Frailejón plant. Espeletia, commonly known as Frailejón, is a genus of perennial subshrubs, in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic mainly to Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador.
200 pesos - scarlet macaw
500 pesos - crystal frog
1000 pesos - loggerhead turtle. This coin will have a latent image, with the initials "BRC" or "MIL", depending on the angle of view. Microtext at the bottom of the coin reads "Taking care of the water" repeated consecutively, with each occurrence inverted with respect to the previous one.
Great designs, but I was under the impression that they were planning a redenomination and an all new currency. Guess that's not going to happen after all...
