¿Cómo se traduciría esta frase?
I'm talking to a friend, who invited me to visit Colombia. In response, I said, "I have learned too much about Colombia not to want to visit there." I meant that after all these months of learning about the country, it is obvious that I want to visit. I said, "He aprendido demasiado de tu pais de no querer ir a visitar." My friend said "He aprendido demasiado de tu pais como para no querer visitarlo" but is still a bit unsure of my intended meaning. Help me!

Actually, your friend response is correct he did understand. The sentence:
"He aprendido demasiado de tu pais como para no querer visitarlo"
means exactly that so much of your country has been learned that not wishing to visit is not an option, in this sentence "como" is not used as a comparative but rather as an adversative particle

Well, your friend understood quite the opposite. A transaltion of your sentence into Spanish would be "he aprendido lo suficiente como para desear visitarlo". But That sounds unnatural in Spanish, I would suggest "Las cosas que he aprendido sobre tu país me hacen desear visitarlo".
I hope that helps.
