Is there a lot of crime in Popayan?
We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...
"Like many cities, Popayan experiences its share of crime. The city has issues with both petty and more serious crimes. Street crimes such as pickpocketing, bag snatching, and theft are common, particularly in crowded areas and on public transportation. Violent crimes such as assault and robbery can also occur, although they are less common. Drug trafficking is a significant problem in Colombia as a whole, and Popayan is not immune to this issue. However, it's important to note that the city has been making efforts to improve safety and security, and many areas of Popayan are generally safe for residents and tourists alike," explained one expat living in Popayan, Colombia.
