We thought arrive in Popayán in the quiet, but we land in the middle of madness because it is the carnival. Dubbed the White City with its colonial architecture, making it one of the most beautiful cities in Colombia, carnival honors its nickname because it is an opportunity for residents of the city retapisser talc ... 
In the region, the carnivals are called "Carnaval de Negros y blancos" because the game is to paint the neighbor's face in black, while covering the talc and foam. The cobbled streets of the old town therefore find it bleached to a good time! We participate in the festivities for a moment, until become completely soaked and dripping paint. It is also the anniversary of the city, which adds the ability to throw buckets of ice water on it.

Fortunately, the surroundings also provide other activities less messy, since Popayán is the gateway to the Parque Nacional Natural Puracé. Last place in Colombia where it is still possible to see condors, the park includes a string of twelve volcanoes called Coconucos, one of which is still active, the Puracé (4646 meters). 
The idea was to go up with our sails to see if it was possible to take off however, we change the view quickly learn that we need a guide to climb, because the blanks are mined! We then climb to the heights of light Pilimbala to see the volcano between two clouds, being careful not to deviate from the path!

In the region, white black carnivals are famous, because the game is to paint the faces of the others in black and cover them with powder and foam. The streets floored from the ancient city are completely bleached! Participate in the festivities for a moment, to be completely wet with water and paint.

One of the last places in Colombia where it is still possible to see condors, the park has a chain of volcanoes called the Coconucos twelve, of which one is still active, the Puracé (4646 meters high).

Light then climbed the heights of Pilimbalá to perceive quickly the volcano between two clouds, taking care not to stray from the path!
