Find Coworking Space in Popayan

About Popayan

Perched southwest of Bogota in western Colombia, Popayan is known for its whitewashed colonial buildings and as the religious hub during Holy Week. Awash in churches from the domed neoclassical Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption to the 17th Century Church of La Ermita, you will have somewhere to rush into when the need overtakes for a bit of divine intervention on the way to your coworking venue. The capital city of the Cauca department, it's snuggled between the Western Mountain Range and the Central Mountain Range about 1760 meters above sea level.

Known as the "white city", it has been home to 17 Colombian presidents and numerous famous painters, composers and poets. This is where you will find the oldest and most distinguished university in the whole of Columbia, The University of Cauca, that hails from 1827. You can take a peek at the ancient pre-Hispanic pyramid, El Morro del Tulcan, or check out the 17th-century clock tower in the heart of the city's shady Caldas Park.

Colombia does have a rapidly expanding startup scene with significant government investment in tech industries. Large incubators can be found in Medellin and Bogota, and there are numerous startups making headlines such as "SiembraViva" that is fighting the urban-rural divide by connecting farmers to urban consumers. Another startup, "Viajala", has put all of Colombia's domestic airlines on a single user-friendly platform so that its users can get the best deal. Coworking venues have become the go-to places for these inventive souls to get their work done before heading out the door at the end of the day to indulge in some corn wraps or empanadas.
