Discover the secrets of Popayán on a gastro-cultural tour only known to some locals and foreigners while you learn about the fascinating colonial history of one of the most important places in Colombia's modern history!
Many travelers who visit Popayán know a little about the history and cultural diversity of Colombia's colonial capital but very few have the opportunity to get a closer look at its local culture and traditions. In addition to its rich history, colonial architecture, monuments, statues, white buildings, cobblestone streets and street lamps, the White City has one of the most recognized and authentic gastronomies at the national level and was recognized by UNESCO in 2005.
During this 5 hour guided tour you will understand the rich history behind its colonial architecture, big monuments, statues, white buildings, cobble stoned streets and street lanterns that make you feel like in the Middle Age, through the distinctive gastronomy that the White City has to offer for those who know where to find it. The social and culture mixture that cohabits in Popayan results in authentic gastronomy that is itself difficult to find anywhere else in the country to truly taste the “pipian” (peanut and potato mixture) flavors in the typical pastries and tarts, fruit salads, sweet snacks and the rare “carantatas” huge corn chips that hold traditions of more than 400 years old!
