I saw something nearly identical to this in La Fortuna, Costa Rica but I deleted the picture because it was blurry (wish I would not have). Unfortunately, I have no idea what it is. It is a fascinating species.

We have a vine that has similar fruit here in Australia (though its orange not red) its a bush passion fruit Passiflora foetida. The tendrils holding the fruit look very similar, guess they could be closely related.
