Jardins Evans em Mompox: A Hospedagem Perfeita no Renascimento do Rio Magdalena

2025 will mark an unforgettable milestone for tourism in Colombia: river cruises on the Magdalena River are back, bringing with them the rebirth of history, culture, and the magical realism that inspired Gabriel García Márquez. At the heart of this legendary route lies Santa Cruz de Mompox, a heritage gem on the riverbank and a key stop on this fluvial journey.

And if you're planning to discover this colonial treasure, there’s no better place to stay than Hotel Jardines Evans, a charming spot that combines Mompox tradition with modern comfort—perfect for travelers seeking an authentic experience.

A Magical Journey Along the Magdalena

The Magdalena River, immortalized by Gabo in works such as Love in the Time of Cholera, takes center stage again in a story now being written with touristic ink.

The AmaMagdalena cruise, operated by the renowned company AmaWaterways, set sail for the first time this year from Cartagena, stopping in historic towns like Calamar, Magangué, Nueva Venecia, and of course, Mompox, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This type of cruise, with a capacity for 60 people, European luxury, regional cuisine, and short but memorable stops, allows both national and international tourists to rediscover the richness of Colombia’s Caribbean river culture.

Mompox: A Heritage Jewel in the Heart of the Magdalena

Those who step foot in Mompox are charmed by its intact colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, brass band music, ancient churches, and golden river sunrises. Once one of Colombia’s most important ports, Mompox now regains its splendor thanks to sustainable tourism and cultural recognition.

With this new phase of river tourism, Mompox is again projected as an epicenter of history, tradition, and economic opportunities for riverside communities.
