Pueblito Patojo
A miniature heritage village at the foot of Tulcán Hill, with scale replicas of Popayán's famous colonial buildings, craft shops and local snacks.
Pueblito Patojo (“patojo” is the affectionate local nickname for people from Popayán) was built in the 1980s at the foot of Tulcán Hill. It recreates the old town's landmarks at reduced scale along a single street, including the bell tower, the cathedral and the Humilladero Bridge. Today it is mainly craft shops, cafés and food stalls, where you can buy Cauca specialties such as empanadas de pipián. Entry is free, and it's an easy stop before or after climbing Tulcán Hill.
