What To Expect
FROM CARTAGENA TO MOMPOX
Iglesia de San Jacinto
Santa Cruz de Mompox, declared a National Monument and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is a cultural and historical jewel in the middle of the Magdalena River Delta. Mompox gained importance in colonial times as a rearguard for Cartagena de Indias. We leave Cartagena to head south, crossing the Canal del Dique, and stop at the village San Jacinto, land of hammock weavers and multiple handicrafts. We continue to Mompox via Carmen de Bolivar and Santa Ana to Talaiga Nueva, which lies on the Mompox Island.
Centro Historico de Santa Cruz de Mompox
You arrive at Mompóx and check-in at the hotel of your choice. Around 03:00 p.m. we start a walking tour visiting all places of interest, such as the churches of Santa Barbara, De la Concepcion, San Augustín, San Carlos Palace and Calle de la Albarrada.
CIÉNAGA DE PIJIÑOS
This tour by boat shows us the channels and swamps that form the delta of the Magdalena River in the Momposina Depression. The Ciénaga de Pijiño is characterized by its beautiful water mirrors and the large number of exotic birds, such as the Cormorant Neotropical, the Great Blue Heron, the Psittacidae, the Kingfisher and the Russet-throated Puffbird.

Magical town and beautiful architecture

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00A fascinating town, whose tourist part transported me to better times. Its seven churches and beautiful architecture make it worth spending more than three days in Mompox. You can go to the Pijiño swamp and sail on the planchón along the Magdalena River, go to the filigree and cheese workshops and simply sit and quietly watch the river. Not many tourists go to Mompox at the moment, so it is a very quiet place to take a relaxing vacation. I recommend the Hotel Portal de la Marquesa, whose staff is unbeatable.
