Avianca has today emailed its LifeMiles members about changes to its award charts that will take place on June 8, 2018.
These changes that will affect only flights on Avianca’s on metal (and affiliates) are mainly non-event. and there are actually more flights requiring less miles than more.
You can access Avianca LifeMiles page for the changes here.

Conclusion
It is nice that Avianca LifeMiles informs its members more than two months in advance about these changes.
They could have had the current miles price in brackets too to see the exact change up/down. Now it remains unclear unless someone plugs all these city pairs to their award booking engine.
