The historic center of Popayán is full of whitewashed historic buildings, impressive colonial churches, and small but excellent museums.
The Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts (Türk ve İslam Eserleri Müzesi) is among Istanbul‘s premier museums. It occupies a historic site on the Hippodrome in Sultanahmet, placing it at the heart of the city’s ancient landmarks.
Filandia is one of the best towns to visit in the Coffee Region of Colombia. It’s become quite the tourist hotspot over the years and has many colorful buildings all over town.

Parque Consotá is a great recreational park for families. It’s not too far outside Pereira.
Honda, one of Colombia’s prestigious Heritage Towns (Pueblos Patrimonio), is a colonial gem with cobblestone streets and a timeless riverfront charm.
