MOMPOX – COLOMBIA’S COLONIAL JEWEL, NOW JUST A FLIGHT AWAY

For a long time already, Mompox has been the definition of a “hidden gem” – stunningly beautiful, yet somewhat tedious to reach by land due to its location in the Magdalena River delta. That has now changed: the state-owned airline Satena now offers regular direct connections from Bogotá and Medellín. With flights every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, traveling to this magical town is now easier and more comfortable than ever.

To complement this improved accessibility, we are delighted to welcome a new highlight to our portfolio: Hotel Casa Gerar Filigrana. This charming boutique hotel perfectly captures the essence of Mompox. Its name and decor pay tribute to the town’s famous filigree craftsmanship, offering exclusive comfort in a lovingly restored colonial setting.

For travelers wishing to experience the authentic Colombia, Mompox can easily be integrated into a round trip – for example, on our 3-day tour connecting Santa Marta, Mompox, and Cartagena. Highlights such as a boat trip through the Ciénaga de Pijiño for birdwatching, visiting historical churches, and discovering traditional weaving in San Jacinto make this route an unforgettable journey through time and culture.
