Overlooked by the Puracé Volcano, Popayán is a town situated in the Cauca Department, about 100km from Cali.
My suggestion
Try a champús whilst you're there. It's a local cocktail made from pineapple, corn, cinnamon, cloves and lemon juice.

Nicknamed the 'White City', Popayan is a great stopover in the south of the country, particularly for visitors who love colonial architecture.
My suggestion
Take a wander around the white streets of this pretty town and sit down with the locals for a meal in La Viña, a great little restaurant that serves tasty Colombian dishes.
Whether it's misty or sunny, you'll love the unusual landscape in the Cocora Valley. The enchanting ambiance and the sheer number of wax palms, a national symbol, are impressive, to say the least!
