Welcome to Popayán, the charming city that will be the setting for ECCO 2024. Located in the southwest of Colombia, Popayán is known for its well-preserved colonial architecture and rich cultural history.
The pleasant climate of Popayán is characterized by moderate temperatures throughout the year, making it easy to explore the city at any time. We recommend wearing light and comfortable clothing, along with a sweater or jacket for cool evenings. (The average temperature is 25 to 14 degrees Celsius in June)
During your free time at the conference, we invite you to discover the charms of Popayán. Strolling through the cobblestone streets of the historic center will lead you to enjoy colonial architecture, with the Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral and the church of San Francisco as must-see landmarks.
The local cuisine is another highlighted attraction. Don't forget to try the famous Pipian empanada and indulge in the varied offerings of restaurants that feature typical dishes of the region.
Popayán and ECCO welcome you with open arms, ready to provide you with a unique and enriching experience. We hope you enjoy your time in this gem of southwestern Colombia!
