"Expats in Popayan, appreciate the warm and welcoming nature of the locals, who are always ready to help and make them feel at home. They love the rich history and architecture of the city, which is evident in the well-preserved colonial buildings. The local cuisine is another aspect that expats enjoy, with a variety of unique and delicious dishes to try. They also appreciate the slower pace of life, which allows them to relax and enjoy their surroundings. The vibrant festivals and cultural events, particularly during the Holy Week, are a highlight for many expats, offering a chance to immerse themselves in local traditions. The natural beauty surrounding Popayan, from the Purace National Park to the thermal springs, is also greatly appreciated by expats," wrote a member who made the move to Popayan, Colombia.
