Casa del Artesano

Caribbean Coast


It’s very difficult to hang around Mompós watching the residents sway away the days in their distinctive rocking chairs and not want one for yourself. This small shop represents a few furniture makers around town – one can be yours for somewhere in the COP$60,000 to COP$120,000 price range. They’ll even ship it for you!
