Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 82 reviews
Popayan Tours is the first adventure tour company in Southern Colombia. We offer private transport to the Archaelogical sites of Tierradentro and San Agustin as well as hiking trips to the Purace Volcano (4,650m). Our most popular tour is the Coconuco downhill biking trip. Guests are collected from the centre of Popayan at 10am and driven to the indigenous mountain village of Cocouco where they can bathe in the hot thermal springs. After a time in the springs they jump on the bikes and start the 30km leisurely ride back to Popayan. The route is mainly downhill on a paved road with very little traffic. For those looking for something a bit more extreme, we also offer a downhill biking trip from the Purace Volcano.

The hill is located in the colonial city center and gives a great view of Popayán. The climb up the hill is short and easy.

Reviewed By Robert937 - Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Built in the 1850s to link the center to the northern parts of town where many poor people were living. Keep in mind that the design of many Spanish colonial cities was based on apartheid principles. Only after independence gradually the segregation of different ethnic groups was relaxed. The bridge is perhaps symbolic for the change. Bricks are the main material used in the construction. They are held together by a special kind of 'cement', that is known to be tough and flexible at the same time. Ox blood is part of the substance. The eleven-arch bridge is 240m long and provides an elegant entry to the historic center.

It’s a cute version of some representative places in Popayan, I recommend to visit this area it’s close to the Morro and has a place where you can buy food, empanadas etc
