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.
 Founded in 1537, its mild climate in the Valle de Cauca quickly
 attracted  wealthy Spanish families who built mansions, schools,
 churches and monasteries. The city is famous for its Maundy 
Thursday procession as well as its nightlife. The Iglesia de Ermita
 is the city’s oldest church, built in 1546, while the Iglesia de San Francisco lays claim to being the most
 beautiful. Popayan’s tranquility and charm make it a good place to chill out.

San Andrés and Providencia Archipelago are two island 
groups that are located closer to Nicaragua than Colombia
 in the Caribbean. San Andres is the largest island, and the 
capital. Providence Island was initially settled by English
 Puritans who used slave labor on their plantations and 
took up privateering. White sand beaches and palm trees 
are San Andres’ best features. The Caribbean is colored
 seven shades of blue and is rich marine life, making it agreat 
place to snorkel and dive. Accommodations aren’t as luxurious as other Caribbean islands, and visitors travel around the island on old school buses. The San Andres’ weather is the best in Colombia, I think. 

San Agustin is a laidback little town surrounded by 
awesome landscapes and the remains of a forgotten 
civilization. One of the most intriguing ancient sites in 
Colombia, the archeological park of San Agustin is home 
to more than 500 monoliths, statues, petroglyphs and
 sarcophagi. Most of the stone carvings at San Agustin 
were created between 100 A.D. and 1200 A.D. They 
include representations of human figures, smiling and
 sneering monsters as well as animals such as snakes, birds and jaguars. The pre-Incan culture that built the stone carvings is surrounded by mystery. No one knows their actual name. Most of what is known about this society comes from the interpretation of the carved statues and other ruins. It is better than San Andres, if you prefer something with more culture and a place with more mystery

So, when you visit Colombia, I recommend you these places, there are many adventures, and you can enjoy the different food and animals.

Armenia

Usually i visit Armenia on weekends. In my opinion this city is the most beautiful of the Eje Cafetero, but is smaller than Pereira. Has very trees, flowers and bird diversity. It is famous because you can go easily to Parque del Café, Salento, Circasia and others beautiful and fun places. Here you can visit the Parque de la Vida, Gold Museum and parks. But especially, drink the most delicious coffe of Colombia.

Manizales

I studied in Manizales three years. This city is the coldest on the Eje Cafetero ¡i love this! It is famous for this sunsets, the Nevado del Ruiz, Cathedral, the Monumento a los Colonizadores and principally the fair in january. The people is more friendly and respectful than in Pereira.
