President Uribe and many Politicians in Mompos - June 20

Today, President Uribe and many members of his government are in Mompos heading up a Consejo Comunal.

This event should outline the present Government's commitments to improving services in the town and around abouts. The discussions have mainly revolved around hospitals, transport links and education. Can this Government deliver?

New Rooms Open!

I know I know, we have rambling on about these new rooms on this blog for some time now, but really, we have 4 new "deluxe suites" ready. All of these come with air con and ceiling fan and two have televisions with cable. Prices go for 100,000 per room per night but you won't regret it.

Check it out.....

And, lest we forget to mention the bathrooms, with the best showers in Colombia!


Of course, we have the other two private rooms available at 40,000 per night and the dorms as well.





Presently we are working on another new room upstairs but plan on completing this work later in the year in low season.

New Rooms Ready

With Semana Santa behind us and with space to breathe once again we are proud to announce that the fourth new room will be ready in only a matter of days. All of the new rooms, constructed in a record time, are a step up from regular hostal lodging and are equipped with luxury showers and air con. We shall post photos soon.

In the meantime don't forget to check out our new website www.lacasaamarillamompos.com and of course join our group on facebook - La Casa Amarilla Mompos

Reviews!

We at La Casa Amarilla are proud to have received glowing reviews in the following new Guidebooks, the Footprint Guide to Colombia by Charlie Devreaux and a German version Kolombien by Frank Semper.

We would like to thank the authors for their comments and would also like to clarify that in the Footprint guide the location of La Casa Amarilla is incorrect on the map. We should be placed on the riverfront next door to the Iglesia Santa Barbara.
