10 Best Places to Visit in Colombia
Popayan is one of Colombia’s most impressive colonial cities. Located in southwestern Colombia, it is sometimes called the “Ciudad Blanca” (White City) because its buildings are chalk-white.

The city is famous for its Maundy Thursday procession as well as its nightlife.
