Cauca Essentials

Cauca features a diverse landscape ranging from the Andean highlands to the Pacific coast. This selection includes the Puracé stratovolcano within its namesake National Natural Park and the colonial heritage of Popayán, represented by the 19th-century Puente del Humilladero and the Museo Arquidiocesano de Arte Religioso. The region’s natural diversity is further highlighted by the volcanic rock formations of the Mandiyaco River canyon and the coastal landmarks of Guapi, including its lighthouse and Pacific beaches.
