Cali, Coconuco, Pasto

I landed in Cali on Saturday morning. The plan was to spend the rest of the weekend dancing in the salsa capital of the world. Unfortunately, ley seca ruined that opportunity. During election weekends in Colombia all the discos shut down. Not a great weekend to be in Cali.
Water-Drinkable

Instead of hanging out in a quiet Cali we traveled first to Popoyan and then on to Coconuco. This tiny village boasts hot springs fed by an active volcano. The pools of steamy sulfur water are a greenish yellow and smell like a New York City bathroom but were fantastic for soaking. A family from Cali told us that we had to soak in the sulfur pools for 5 minutes and then shower in cold water from the spring before getting back in the hot springs. Bathe, rinse repeat 10 times and you have completed the therapy, for what I am not sure.

Water- untreated spring water and not considered drinkable by local standards.

Pasto water- a little smelly from the nearby volcano but safe to consume.
