Book a door-to-door van: Shared vans connect Mompox with Cartagena and Santa Marta, picking you up at your hotel; it is usually easier than changing buses.
Walk the colonial centre: The historic town along the Albarrada riverfront and its three main churches is compact and best explored slowly on foot.
Use mototaxis for short hops: Mototaxis and bicycle rentals are the local way to get around beyond the centre; agree the fare before you set off.

Check routes before travelling: Ask your guesthouse about current road conditions and safety before driving to Mompox, and avoid travelling on rural roads at night.
Bring enough pesos: Mompox has few ATMs and they can run out of cash at weekends or festivals, so arrive with enough Colombian pesos for your stay.
Protect against mosquitoes: Mosquitoes are common near the Magdalena River and wetlands, so use repellent at dusk and choose rooms with screens or nets.

Eat a corrientazo lunch: Local restaurants serve a set lunch of soup, rice, meat and juice at a low price; look for places full of locals around noon.
Stay in a colonial house: Guesthouses in old colonial homes around the centre offer good value, often with courtyards, hammocks and breakfast included.
Enjoy the free sunsets: Walking the Albarrada at sunset past Santa Barbara church costs nothing and is one of the best experiences in Mompox.

Dress for the heat: Mompox is hot and humid all year, so wear loose cotton or linen, a sun hat and sandals, and carry water when you go out.
Pack for rainy months: Heavy afternoon storms are common in the wetter months, roughly April to May and September to November; carry a light rain jacket.
Slow down at midday: Many locals rest in the hottest hours and shops may close, so plan sightseeing for early morning and late afternoon.

Visit filigree workshops: Mompox is famous for fine gold and silver filigree jewellery; many artisans welcome visitors to watch them work.
Experience Semana Santa: Holy Week brings famous candlelit processions; book rooms far ahead, and remember the town also hosts a jazz festival in autumn.
Taste local specialities: Try queso de capa, a stretchy layered cheese, butifarra sausages sold by street vendors and sweets made with lime.

Take a sunset boat trip: Boat tours into the Cienaga de Pijino wetlands show herons, iguanas and monkeys, with the best light in the late afternoon.
Join the rocking-chair hour: At dusk locals set rocking chairs outside their doors; take a seat at a cafe on the riverfront and enjoy the slow pace.
Visit the cemetery: The whitewashed municipal cemetery with its tombs and resident cats is atmospheric and especially beautiful in soft evening light.
