Mompox, officially Santa Cruz de Mompox, is a town in northern Colombia's Bolívar Department. Founded near the Magdalena River, it retains much of its colonial charm and played a key role in Latin America's independence. A UNESCO World Heritage Site.

How stunning is this butterfly? It's one tiny detail on the spectacular gemstone chandelier Alhaja, which contains more than 23,000 carats of gemstones and was created by Colombian artist Sebastian Jaramillo.

One of the things I find charming about butterflies is that people would probably be afraid of them if they didn't have beautiful wings. They're good insect ambassadors.

Tuyvae douglasboyesi - a newly described moth from Colombia. dx.doi.org/10.57800/fau...: "dedicated to a young and enthusiast British entomologist, Douglas Boyes, who left us too early"
Sadly missed by us all - he did amazing research, had such passion... I wonder what he would have gone on to? 😞

The art of filigrana (filigree) in Mompox is a centuries-old tradition rooted in Spanish colonial influence. Introduced in the 16th century, this intricate jewelry-making technique involves weaving fine gold and silver threads into delicate, lace-like designs. #Mompox #Colombia

Getting to Mompox! You can fly from Bogota and Medellin on Satena, but there are only a couple of flights a week. Otherwise you can reach Mompox by road, using public transportation from cities such as Bogotá (14h), Cartagena 6h), Barranquilla (7h), and Bucaramanga (8h) #Mompox #Colombia
