Aug 3, 2006 - Popayán

Supposed to be 2 hours from Calí but it took 3 after police checks along the way. Sadly I can't remember many of the important details of the city, I'm finding that concentrating on what is being said affects my ability to remember anything afterwards! Still Popayán is a small, pretty city with the main buildings painted white and the people, again, super friendly. ...

Jun 10, 2005 - Colombia - Popayán

Popayan is said to be one of Colombia's most beautiful colonial cities and on first sight it certainly appears to be a big improvement on the last few places visited! The town is full of large mansions and churches built by the wealthy Spanish families from the sugar haciendas who fancied somewhere a bit cooler to hole up in the summer months! As is common for this area a lot of buildings were damaged in earthquakes, but there has been some serious restoration and the city retains its predominantly white appearance.Popayan is said to be one of Colombia's most beautiful colonial cities and on first sight it certainly appears to be a big improvement on the last few places visited!
