Early life

Miss Valle 2009

Prior to competing in Miss Colombia 2010, Robayo was given the chance to represent Valle in Miss Colombia 2009 when the original Miss Valle 2009, Diana Salgado, was forced to resign because "her body measures surpassed the normal requirements of the competition."[3]

A year later, Robayo competed once again as Miss Valle in her country's national pageant, Miss Colombia 2010, held in Cartagena on November 15, 2010, where she obtained the Miss Elegance award[4] and the title of Miss Colombia, gaining the right to represent her country in the 2011 Miss Universe pageant,[5] broadcast live from São Paulo, Brazil on September 12, 2011.[6]
