As the day transitioned into the afternoon, the focus shifted to sightseeing. The group explored various notable sites, capturing the essence of Popayán's architectural beauty and historical significance. One of the highlights was a visit to the iconic Parque Caldas, a central park named after Francisco José de Caldas, a prominent figure in Colombian history. Here, visitors strolled through the lush greenery, observed the local flora, and enjoyed the tranquil environment. The park's central fountain and surrounding statues provided perfect spots for reflection and photography.
