Amaya, who played as a defensive midfielder, was capped with the Colombian U-20 squad before being part of the senior squad that took part in Copa America 2004.

After Colombia did poorly at Copa América 2007, Amaya was chosen to lead the midfield.^[1] His performances in international friendlies and World Cup Qualifiers attracted attention, and Amaya was signed for one season by Barcelona S.C. in the Spanish leagues.

Amaya has won the Copa Mustang four times, once with Atlético Junior and three times with Atlético Nacional.^[2]
