It\u2019s surprisingly good, and now there are several other flavors besides Corozo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Wine-Santa-Cruz-de-Mompox-East-Caribbean-Coast-Colombia-1.jpg\" alt=\"Wine Santa Cruz de Mompox - East Caribbean Coast Colombia\" class=\"wp-image-89949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Wine-Santa-Cruz-de-Mompox-East-Caribbean-Coast-Colombia-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Wine-Santa-Cruz-de-Mompox-East-Caribbean-Coast-Colombia-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Wine-Santa-Cruz-de-Mompox-East-Caribbean-Coast-Colombia-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-76304125 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-e0b11ef0 gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-e0b11ef0\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Where to eat Mompox specialties<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-c5fdc0ca\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-c5fdc0ca\">\n\n<p>For dinner, I recommend <strong>Santa Coa<\/strong> on the banks of the Magdalena River.
