So, to all intents and purposes the border between Colombia and Venezuela is still closed, as it has been for a long time.
What I liked about about South America was it's easy border crossings. I deliberately didn't enter Venezuela because everyone told me don't go (political unrest/security/shortages of everything) and the border is closed between Col and Ven.
A fun option is to take a/several boat/s up the Amazon river from Brazil to Peru. Then head for Colombia via Ecuador.
