Walk the white city: Popayan's whitewashed historic centre around Parque Caldas is compact and best explored on foot along its colonial streets.
Use taxis or ride apps: taxis are affordable in Popayan; ask your hotel to call one or use an app at night rather than hailing on quiet streets.
Take buses from the terminal: the bus terminal has frequent buses and colectivos to Silvia, Coconuco hot springs and other towns in the Cauca region.

Stick to busy areas at night: stay in the historic centre and well-lit streets after dark, and avoid empty side streets on the edge of town.
Check road safety before travel: conditions on rural routes in Cauca can change, so ask locally about current safety before longer trips by road.
Keep valuables out of sight: avoid showing phones and cameras in quieter areas and on El Morro at dusk, and carry only the cash you need.

Eat the almuerzo: set lunches with soup, main, juice and sometimes dessert are excellent value in small restaurants around the centre.
Visit churches and plazas for free: colonial churches like San Francisco and La Ermita, plus the plazas and bridges, are free to explore.
Shop at the market: Mercado Bolivar is great for cheap tropical fruit, juices and snacks, and gives a glimpse of daily life in Popayan.

Pack layers for spring-like weather: Popayan sits at about 1,700 metres, with mild days and cool nights all year, so bring a light sweater.
Carry rain gear: showers are common, especially in the wetter months, so bring an umbrella or light rain jacket for walking the centre.
Bring warm gear for Purace: trips to Purace National Park and the volcano reach high paramo altitudes, so pack a warm jacket, hat and gloves.

Experience Semana Santa: Popayan's Holy Week processions are UNESCO recognised, with candlelit floats carried through the white streets at night.
Taste local specialities: try empanadas de pipian with peanut sauce, tamales de pipian and the frosty salpicon payanes fruit drink.
Visit Silvia's Tuesday market: the market in nearby Silvia is a chance to meet Misak people in traditional dress; ask before taking photos.

Climb El Morro de Tulcan: the hill with a pre-Hispanic past gives great views over the white city, best at sunrise or late afternoon.
Time your visit for the gastronomy congress: Popayan, a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, hosts a national food congress each year; check dates ahead.
Cross the Puente del Humilladero: the brick bridge is a classic photo spot, and the nearby Puente de la Custodia is quieter and just as pretty.
