What is the perfect time to enjoy Mompox?

The best time to enjoy Mompox is during the dry season, which runs approximately from December to March and from July to August. During these months, the weather is more pleasant, with less rain, making it easier to explore its cobblestone streets, visit plazas, churches, and craft workshops without incident. These periods also coincide with festivals and cultural celebrations, such as Holy Week, where processions and religious activities allow you to experience local traditions firsthand.

Without heavy rain, it's also more comfortable to enjoy walks along the Magdalena River and contemplate the river landscapes surrounding the city.
