Old colonial town in southern Colombia, Popayán manages to make the visitor feel good because of its friendly, laid-back atmosphere and the beauty of its colonial architecture.
When I finally arrived in Popayán after an accident on the road from Cali had delayed my bus ride, the sky was a heavy dark, and sunlight was already disappearing. I quickly set myself up in one of the very attractive colonial mansions turned into a hotel, and rushed out again. It was a Sunday afternoon, and I only saw pedestrians on the streets. I immediately developed a liking for this colonial town. The white of the houses - all houses in the city centre are obliged to be white, and the city is also known as the White City - contrasted beautifully against the black sky and I thoroughly enjoyed walking the streets of Popayán until darkness fell.
