Description
Experience the bizarre and therapeutic magic of the Volcán de Lodo El Totumo on this essential half-day tour from Cartagena. Begin with round-trip, air-conditioned transportation and the company of a local guide who will lead the journey and provide cultural context.
Upon arrival at the mini-volcano, climb the stairs and descend into the warm, dense, mineral-rich mud, famous for its therapeutic properties that cleanse and soften the skin while providing an unforgettable, weightless floating sensation for 15-20 minutes. The entire volcano experience and subsequent rinse-off are managed by the local community, ensuring your visit directly supports the people of the region.
While your transport and guide are included in the booking price, all guests must bring small bills in Colombian Pesos (COP) to cover the necessary on-site services. These mandatory fees are paid directly to the community members:
Volcano Entrance Fee: Approx. COP $20,000
Rinse-Off Fee: Approx. COP $5,000 (Local attendants help you wash in the lagoon.)
Please note these local fees are subject to slight changes and may be higher during peak season. Budget extra cash for optional services like mud massages or photo-taking tips.
