Mompox Does Not Exist

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Mompox, or Santa Cruz de Mompox, is a town in the Bolívar Department (state) of northern Colombia. Seen here in this drone video by la.drones, Mompox dates to colonial times. In 1812, it supplied the initial force of men for Simón Bolívar's in his campaign to liberate the South American continent from Spanish control. Once primarily dedicated to cattle-raising, the town is now a significant tourist destination in northern Colombia and is known for its churches, some of which date to the 16th century.
